This vibrant herbed bean salad is a celebration of seasonal produce, combining tender green beans and golden wax beans for a striking contrast in colour and texture. It is a light, vegan-friendly side dish that relies on quality ingredients, with the sweetness of the beans perfectly balanced by the sharp acidity of red wine vinegar and the subtle pungency of minced shallots.

Ideal for summer entertaining or as a fresh accompaniment to a hearty Sunday roast, this salad is incredibly simple to prepare. The addition of hand-torn basil provides a fragrant, aromatic finish that elevates the earthy flavours of the legumes. For the best results, ensure the beans are dried thoroughly after blanching to allow the olive oil dressing to coat them perfectly.
