Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Green beans
- 150 grams Yellow wax beans
- 150 grams Edamame (shelled, fresh or frozen)
- 0.25 cup (finely diced) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener (optional)
Instructions
Trim the ends of the green beans and yellow wax beans, and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and yellow wax beans, and blanch them for 2-3 minutes until tender but still crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
In the same pot of boiling water, blanch the edamame for 2-3 minutes (or according to package instructions if using frozen). Drain and set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and sweetener (if using) to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans, yellow wax beans, edamame, diced red onion, and parsley.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt, pepper, or sweetener.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy your keto-friendly three-bean salad!
