Green Bean Salad

This easy green bean salad is so good, and tastes even better the next day which would make this a great lunch option too! A few other green bean recipes I love, Skillet Chicken with Bacon and Green Beans, Roasted Parmesan Green Beans and Potato and Green Bean Salad.

Wow, I actually first posted this recipes ten years ago today! It’s hard to believe I’ve been blogging this long. I have so many recipes in my archives that I just love and aren’t getting the attention they deserve! So, I am slowly making my way through them and giving them the make-overs they deserve. I have also gotten so much better at writing recipes through the years thanks to all the cookbooks I’ve written, and working with editors. Of course, I don’t work with an editor or proof reader on my website, so excuse the typos. The ingredients in this salad are very clean and simple. Green beans are a good source of Vitamin C and fiber. The hard boiled eggs add protein and the flavors combined with the vinaigrette are delicious!

Tips

Trimming the beans yourself will save money, to do this quickly gather the beans in a small pile, lining up the tips on one side then cut the tips off with a single slice using a large chef’s knife. Flip the pile over and do the same on the other side. To save time, you can buy pre-cut, pre-washed green beans. To make easy-to-peal hard boiled eggs, I always use my Instant Pot. Since the ingredients are simple, using a great tasting extra virgin olive oil and a good quality balsamic vinegar makes the salad!
