Recipes

1/2 pound green or runner beans
1/2 pound French-style green beans, halved (I used Corn)
3 cups shelled fava beans or fresh peas (I used butter beans)
8 radishes halved
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
Juice of 1 small orange
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sesame oil
salt and pepper
2/3 cup plain yogurt
Fresh mint

1. Trim the green or runner beans and remove the strings, cut into 1 inch slices. Cook in boiling, salted water for 4 minutes. Add the french-style beans and fava beans or peas and cook for 4 minutes, or until just tender; drain and refresh in cold water. (I used the combination of butter beans, green beans and corn)

2. Put the beans in a large bowl. Add the radishes and chives. Mix together the orange juice, oils, salt and pepper. Pour this over the vegetables and toss.

3. Mix together the yogurt and mint. Divide the bean salad among plates and spoon the citrus dressing on top.
