Green Bean Salad with Eggs
4 servings
60 minutes
Green bean salad with eggs is a vibrant and nutritious dish from Mexican cuisine, where the freshness of ingredients plays a key role. Tender green beans boiled and lightly sautéed in butter acquire a rich flavor that is nicely complemented by garlic aroma. Boiled eggs add textural softness, while mayonnaise gives the salad a creamy consistency and a hint of tanginess. This simple yet protein- and vitamin-rich salad is perfect as a standalone dish or as a side to meat and fish dishes. Light, fresh, and hearty, it pairs wonderfully with Mexican spices and traditional tortillas, creating a balance of taste and nutritional value.
