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)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends of the green beans and yellow wax beans, and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans, yellow wax beans, edamame, diced red onion, and parsley.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt, pepper, or sweetener.

Step 8

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve chilled and enjoy your keto-friendly three-bean salad!
