Step by step
Step 1
Wash and trim the beans, if they are fresh. If they are frozen, cook in water, according to the instructions on the package.
I prefer to steam the beans for 20 minutes, then let cool and drain well.
The beans can be just as easily boiled in water for 15-20 minutes. Then let sit in a colander to drain very well.
Canned beans can also be used, but I don't like the taste, nor the texture - and I mean here the store-bought ones.
Step 2
While the beans are being cooked and drained, you can prepare the homemade mayonnaise, the simple and classic one or the vegan one.
For a fresh touch, you can combine the mayo with some Greek yogurt or simple cream.
Step 3
Cut the cooked beans into 1.5-2cm long slices.
Step 4
Transfer the beans, mayonnaise and crushed garlic to a big bowl.
Step 5
Toss everything with a spoon, season with salt if needed, adjust the garlic to your taste.
Refrigerate for a few hours for the flavours to blend, it will be a lot tastier after that.
Step 6
Spread it on bread or serve this salad next to your favourite meat, meatballs etc.
Enjoy!
