It’s not amazing imho but it’s a decent side with lots of nutrients. Nice for a bit of variety and crunch, when I’m tired of having leafy salad on the side. I think I left the garlic out last time, not the biggest fan of raw garlic.


INGREDIENTS

  •  

    1 cup green beans

  •  2 

    mini cucumbers

FOR THE DRESSING

  •  3 tablespoons olive oil
  •  1 teaspoon salt
  •  ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  •  Juice of 1 lemon
  •  1 garlic clove, grated
  •  3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  •  Splash of white vinegar

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and set up an ice bath.

  2. Trim and cut the green beans into 1” pieces, then add the beans. Boil for 1 minute, then transfer to the ice bath to stop the cooking.
  3. While the beans cool, chop the cucumbers and add them to a large bowl.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients.
  5. Add the green beans to the bowl and pour in the dressing. Mix to get the veggies evenly coated with dressing.
  6. Serve immediately.
