This vibrant runner beans with Swiss chard stems and basil recipe is a celebrate of seasonal greens. Combining the crunch of fresh runner beans with the often-overlooked texture of chard stems, this vegan dish is elevated by a bright red wine vinegar dressing. The addition of aromatic fresh basil brings a Mediterranean flair to these classic British garden staples, making it a sophisticated yet simple side dish for any summer spread.
As a nutritious plant-based option, this recipe is naturally low in calories and packed with fibre and essential vitamins. It serves as a refreshing accompaniment to grilled proteins or can be enjoyed on its own as a light, heart-healthy lunch. By using the chard stems, you are also embracing a sustainable, root-to-stem cooking style that reduces food waste while maximising flavour and texture.
