Skillet String Beans and Cauliflower a la Salsa

No, this is not cooked in a traditional salsa, but since "salsa" means sauce, it was just the name for this saucy side dish. It is a very easy and tasty side dish to prepare. It goes well on the side of rice, quinoa, potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes, and even pasta! If you choose to make the suggested variation, you will get a more substantial dish to add to just about anything you might like to fix!

2 cups raw cauliflower, shopped
About half a can sliced string beans (drained)
Approx. 1/2 cup water (or more, if needed)
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 Tbsp. sweet paprika powder
Salt to taste
Sprinkle Italian Seasoning to taste
1 small, sweet pepper, seeded and shopped

In a small pot, put all the seasonings and the cauliflower with the water and cook till cauliflower begins to be soft,(about 15 minutes,) add the string beans, mixing in well so that they will get the seasonings, let all the flavors blend.
Done!

Variation:
You can make one of your delicious recipes for strips or sausages, and chop them in the skillet as the cauliflower and string beans cook. This will really be good!

Encouraging Promises!
