Three bean salad

INGREDIENTS

½ lb(s) fresh green beans, stems trimmed

½ lb(s) fresh yellow wax beans

1 can romano beans, drained and rinsed (or 1 lb fresh romano beans, in their shell)

1 sweet onion (such as Vidalia), thinly sliced

½ cup thinly sliced celery (or 2 tsp chopped fresh lovage)

¼ cup raspberry vinegar

1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh lemon thyme

2 Tbsp olive oil

salt and pepper

Process of making:-

1. Blanch green beans in boiling salted water until just tender (about 5 minutes) then drain and shock in ice water. Repeat with yellow beans (they take about a minute less).

2. Toss green and yellow beans with romano beans (or if using fresh, shell the fresh beans and simmer in salted water for 20 minutes, then drain and cool). Add onion and celery (or chopped lovage).

3. Add vinegar, lemon thyme and olive oil and toss to coat. Season to taste and chill until ready to serve.

4. Salad can be dressed and chilled for up to 6 hours before serving.
