Yellow Beans Garlic Spread

Salads are so versatile and easy, we can make them countless ways using our favorite ingredients and all kinds of various dressings. And this simple yellow bean salad spread is the living proof!

These yellow beans with mayonnaise are so impressive! This can easily be a nourishing salad, an easy and quick last minute appetizer, a delicious mid afternoon snack on a slice of bread or a nice, tasty, simple dinner. The mayonnaise addition brings in lots of flavor and makes this spread tastier but increases the number of calories too. However, choosing to make your own mayonnaise at home can reduce the numbers and will definitely make it a healthier option than the store bought mayonnaise.

This yellow bean salad recipe uses fresh yellow string beans that are slightly boiled until barely tender but crisp but you could also use canned yellow beans, as long as they’re crisp and lightly flavored. The recipe can be seasoned with all kinds of herbs or made spicy with a little hot chili powder or flakes addition but I personally like it just the way it is, simple and garlicky!

This easy yellow beans garlic spread is best served cold, on wholewheat bread with seeds and paired with pickles. It’s so easy and delicious you’ll be making this recipe over and over again!
