Cook butter beans in the boiling cooking liquid, just until tender, 5 minutes if frozen. Strain; place under cold, running water to stop cooking. Set aside.

Sprinkle the reserved butter beans over the top. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the beans. Garnish with tarragon and parsley. Serve at room temperature.

MARINATED POTATO AND GREEN BEAN SALAD
This is a warm marinated salad that I make often. It is so good! I often make a meal of just this salad by itself, and some good bread. I hope you will give it a try, you won't be disappointed It is colorful as well as tasty and travels well too because of no mayo. It is best served warm or room temperature.

MARINATED VEGETABLE AND BEAN SALAD
This recipe was inpired by a salad dressing recipe that I made for 1-2-3 Hits Tag, recipe #372633 - I tagged the dressing, but had no lettuce, so I came up with a salad to go with it. It turned out fantastic, so I'm posting it here. Cook time does not include overnight marinade time. Yes, it makes alot, but it's easily scaled down. Note that for easier measuring, 4 tbsp = 1/4 cup.

Steps:
- Combine veggies and beans in large, sealable, container.
- Blend chives, oil, vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper with immersion blender, or whisk together well.
- Add dressing to veggies, seal container, shake well, and allow to marinate overnight. Shake the container whenever you open the fridge to distribute the marinade.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest green beans and butter beans you can find. Fresh beans will have a crisp texture and a vibrant green color.
- Trim the green beans by snapping off the ends. You can also use a sharp knife to cut off the ends.
- Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. This will help the beans retain their crisp texture and bright green color.
- Marinate the beans in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs. You can also add other ingredients to the marinade, such as Dijon mustard, honey, or balsamic vinegar.
- Let the beans marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. The longer the beans marinate, the more flavorful they will be.
- Serve the marinated beans as a side dish or as part of a salad. You can also add them to sandwiches, wraps, or grain bowls.
