With tender, meaty yellow pole beans and juicy cherry tomatoes, this simple pole bean salad is the perfect side to any summer meal.
You may find in your local markets and grocery stores these beautiful and meaty long green and/or yellow pole beans.
These beans grow on vines along poles and can reach 9-10 feet tall as in our mom’s garden! And the more you pick them, the more they’ll produce, all the way through until the first frost. These beans are great fresh and freeze well for later use in stews, sauces and just to saute with some garlic and onions!
We also love them in a cold salad. Here’s a simple, tasty and filling recipe. The colours are just beautiful for sharing at a pot-luck and any leftovers taste great the next day.
Or pair them with any of the following meal ideas:
