Creamy, delicious, and Keto-friendly German Green Bean Salad (also known as Bohnensalat) wonderfully flavored with sour cream, dill, and white wine vinegar!

Ingredients
- 1.5 lb green beans (about 700 grams).
- some water (to boil the green beans).
- 1 teaspoon salt (also for boiling the beans)
- ⅓ cup chopped dill
- 1 red onion (finely sliced)
- ½ lb sour cream (or 250 grams).
- 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon sugar-free sweetener or regular sugar.
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil.
Instructions
- Wash and clean the green beans, then cut off the ends.
- Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the beans, add a teaspoon of salt and boil the green beans until they are cooked al dente.
- Once the beans have cooked, drain and set aside in a bowl to cool. In a small bowl, prepare the salad dressing by combining the sour cream, dill, white vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar-free sweetener or regular sugar, and olive oil.
- Add the sliced onion to the bowl with the green beans and combine, then stir in the dressing. Allow the salad to chill in the fridge for at least one hour, to enable the flavors to properly come together (the salad tastes better with time).
- Serve this German green bean salad cold, with beef, pork, potatoes, or your favorite main dishes!
Notes
- Refrigeration and Freezing
- Store the German green beans in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. I do not recommend freezing, as the green beans tend to get soggy once thawed.
- Useful Tips!
- Substitutions and Variations
- Keep the green bean salad (Bohnensalat) in the fridge for at least an hour, to enable the flavors to penetrate.
- Always serve this salad cold! Also, give it time to marinate. As tempting as it may be, resist the urge to serve it immediately by all means!
- Feel free to substitute the sour cream for full-fat yogurt.
- Add some diced fried bacon (or turkey bacon) for some protein, crumbled feta for some savory taste, or boiled potatoes for some carbs!
- You can use balsamic vinegar in place of white wine vinegar.
