Recipe for Green Bean Salad
Ingredients:
500 g green beans
2–3 cloves garlic
3–4 tbsp olive oil
1–2 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
(Optional) Sour cream or mustard for extra flavor
Preparation:
Preparing the beans: Wash the beans and trim the ends. You can also use store-bought frozen beans. Cook them in salted water for about 10–15 minutes, until tender but not overcooked. Drain and let them cool.
Preparing the dressing: While the beans are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a bowl, mix finely chopped garlic, olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well.
Combining the ingredients: Once the beans have cooled, pour the dressing over them and mix gently so all the flavors combine. If you like, add sour cream or mustard for extra taste.
Chilling: Cover the bowl and leave the salad in the fridge to cool well before serving. This salad can be served as a side dish with meat or as a main dish with bread.
