Summer Vegetable Salad Recipe (2024)

The reserved cooking broth from the beans can be used as part of a vegetable stock for soup, as a liquid to thin a sauce, or simply to flavor the cooking water for pasta. In all three cases, it will add a fresh and subtle note. A very fun freebie, for no extra effort.

Huge hit! Huge. Made the anchovy vinaigrette to go with, which I highly recommend. Couldn't find shelling beans in the pod (produce guy said they wouldn't have until Thanksgiving), so substituted 2 14 oz. cans of canellini beans, drained and rinsed. Other than that, followed the recipe exactly.So good.

This was very easy, very good. Fresh, healthy - perfect recipe. I didn't have shelling beans so I too used cannellini beans, thanks Marla. I dressed them with the S, P and EVOO and a touch of fresh rosemary and let sit while I continued. Also forgot to save my eggplant for this so grilled some zucchini - delicious. Will do both next time. Made the dressing, so good sopped up wth crusty bread. Don't skip the basil, sets off the other flavors beautifully. Will try eggs as this tasted Nicoise-like.

Fabulous! Brushed the eggplant and some red pepper with olive oil and roasted in the oven. Great idea to marinate white beans in olive oil, s/p, and rosemary and minced garlic for a few hours. All the layering of olive oil, s/p with different components makes it great. French white wine and sourdough rolls from the bakery.

Not sure I can comment because I riffed on this recipe. No shelling beans or romanos, so I did a cup and a half of fresh favas, a pint of pan-browned pattypan squash, and added leftover pea shoots. I had some Fresh Direct lemon vinaigrette left over, which I dressed it with--very delicious. We broke soft-boiled eggs over the top. It may bot be the recipe, but it was a beautiful vegetarian meal, my favorite way to eat. (Forewent the anchovies.)

What are 9 minute eggs? Bowling balls probably. Take large eggs out of fridge. Put in pan of salted water bring to boil. Switch off heat and leave covered for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold running water. Peel and use as desired. Each to their own.

My husband made this exactly as written, to pair with Roero Arneis (a white wine from Italy's Piedmont.) It was great! So many taste sensations: crunchy beans, soft charred eggplant from the grill, fresh sweet cherry tomatoes, all sitting on a bed of arugula, tossed in the lemon vinaigrette. Luckily we found the fresh shelling beans and runner beans at Russo's, our local produce market extraordinaire. We toasted a baugette and heaped it with the salad. Yum!

Where can I get fresh shelling beans in the NY/Westchester area now?

Where can I get any of these beans , fresh or dried??
