    This vegan green bean salad is one of my favorite salads when it comes to fast and you do not have time to prepare anything else with vegetables. You need just 7 ingredients and you've created this delicious vegan green bean salad. It not only tastes great with grilled foods, but as a side for just about any other main course. Especially on hectic days, this oil-free salad is always welcome.

    What do you need to make a vegan green bean salad?

    For one thing, you clearly need green beans. Because without these beans we could not make green bean salad. In addition, you need savory, a delicious herb, which emphasizes the delicious taste of the beans. You also need diced onion, garlic, sea salt, pepper and some vinegar. Here you can use vinegar essence or e.g. Use white wine vinegar. I like to use vinegar. I love it when the salads have a strong sour taste.

    Can I take fresh green beans or canned for the vegan green bean salad?

    Here you can choose. Out of the jar, the canned beans are definitely the fastest, since you do not have to cook them anymore. You only have to mix the ingredients. If you have fresh beans and want to use them. Then you can cook these bite-proof and then use like the boiled green beans. The recipe below calls for green beans from the jar/ can.

    Where should I keep the vegan green bean salad?

    Please take a lockable box here and keep the vegan green bean salad in the fridge. So far, the bean salad has kept 4 days. It doesn't last longer for us than 4 days, than we have eaten it up.

    Servings 4 Portions
    Course Salad
    Cuisine German

    Ingredients

    • 1 glass / can of green beans or 400 g fresh beans cut into pieces and cooked
    • 2 teaspoons of vinegar essence*
    • ½ cup of the cooking/canning water
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon white pepper ground
    • ½ teaspoon savory dried
    • ½ onion diced
    • 2 garlic cloves chopped or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • Salt & Pepper to taste

    Instructions

    1. Put the beans with the cooking/ canning liquid in a bowl.
    2. If you did not buy cut beans, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
    3. Now add the vinegar and the spices.
    4. Let it all stand for a few minutes and use pepper and salt for taste.

    Notes

    *you can use the "normal" vinegar (5%) as well just omit 2 tablespoon of the green bean liquid and take 2 tablespoon of the normal vinegar. But it really tastes better with the essence. In Germany we love to use the essence for cooking.

      I need help with 2 things. I don't know what vinegar essence is and I can't tell what is on top of the salad. The vinegars I know are ACV, white vinegar, rice vinegar, wine vinegar. The topping on the salad looks like dried mushroom or slivered almonds. Help please!

        The toppings are almonds. Vinegar essence is a 20-25% vinegar. You can use normal vinegar just add a little more. I buy mine at amazon.
