- In a medium bowl combine olive oil, lemon juice and pepper
- Add the cold green beans and toss to coat the beans

Heaven in the Shuswap
Green beans are not the friendliest keto food, but they can be worked into your meals. This recipe is served as a side salad so your helping won’t be huge, although once you taste this it will be hard to stop at just one serving. My girlfriend in the Shuswap introduced me to this salad many years back when we both had big vegetable gardens and an abundance of bush beans and dill weed.
