MAKE-AHEAD SUMMER BEAN SALAD

Make-Ahead Summer Bean Salad image

Freezes beautifully! I always keep a batch or two of this frozen, ready for unexpected company, or just for summertime ease. Guests will never know you made it weeks in advance. So simple, but this salad always gets compliments and requests for the recipe. A healthy and cooling addition to any summer lunch or dinner--pulling this out of the freezer really helps out when you're caught short or it's too hot to be stuck in the kitchen! Can be made and kept fresh in the fridge for several days before serving, or frozen (undrained) for several weeks.

COLD BEAN SALAD

Cold Bean Salad image

Ann Mulford's recipe for Two-Bean Salad doesn't disappoint. The Lincolnville, Maine, reader says, "This mixed salad sure is a winner. I make it a day or so ahead of time and it marinates in the refrigerator. It's simple, just stir every 12 hours." She adds, "And leftovers are great over rice or noodles."

SUMMER BUTTER BEAN SALAD WITH HOT SAUCE VINAIGRETTE

Summer Butter Bean Salad with Hot Sauce Vinaigrette image

Are you wondering what butter beans are? They're what we call lima beans in the South because of their creamy, buttery texture. For this salad, I thought about succotash, a classic Soul Food dish made with butter beans, fresh corn and tomatoes, then I added a few more fresh summer veggies and herbs, plus a spicy, tangy vinaigrette. You really could add anything else from your garden or the farmers' market, like zucchini, bell peppers or snap peas-go ahead and make it your own!
