GREEN BEAN SALAD

green bean salad ingredients

This simple summer salad pairs beautifully with practically any grilled meat or fish, and it’s quite easy to make.

It’s summertime here in Louisiana and I have been living on salads these days. My new Fresh Green Bean Salad is absolutely delicious and perfect to pair with a chicken breast on a hot summer day. Additionally, it is the perfect side dish to take to a BBQ. It is light, fresh, and super filling.

This recipe is low-carb, keto, and by omitting the cheese- it is also Whole30 approved.
