Snackable Green Beans

Sometimes, the weather calls for certain foods. When it’s snowy, for me, it’s always a nice, meltable cheese on a croissant. When it’s spring, crepes with a fruity compote. Today, it was the first real day of summer, and I’d fallen sick and was in no condition to be cooking. Instead, I threw something together that allowed me to keep my energy, and still was good on the palate. All you need are fresh green beans, and a few other ingredients, and you’ll be able to start enjoying the start of summer. I hope you find this recipe as easy and as tasty as I did when I first made it.

Ingredients:

1 handful raw green beans

Iodized salt, to taste

Freshly cracked pepper, to taste

3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

3 tablespoons avocado oil

Directions:

Slice the green beans in half so they’re shorter and easy to eat by hand. Add to a bowl. Sprinkle a good pinch or two of salt on them. Crack a lot of pepper over them. Toss by hand until you’re sure they’re all evenly coated. They should be a little salty and have a bite to them from the pepper. 

In a small ramekin, whisk together the vinegar and oil with a fork, or a tiny whisk. Make sure its homogenous before you take a spoon and scoop as much, or as little, as you want to coat the beans. Toss the beans in the liquid, then place them on a small plate for snacking.

Adjust the recipe as necessary for more or less beans.

Serving suggestions:

Lemonade, limeade, cucumber water.
