SUMMER TACOS WITH CORN, GREEN BEANS AND TOMATILLO SALSA
Another way to use the versatile green bean in summer cooking. Cut into one-inch lengths and add to a mix of corn, chiles and green tomatillo salsa. Green beans are such a reliable and versatile summer vegetable. I serve them on their own, of course, but I also throw them into various pasta dishes and salads, and here I've used them in a taco filling. Cook the beans first, just until tender, then cut them into one-inch lengths and add to this sweet and spicy mix of corn, chiles and green tomatillo salsa.

Tips:
- Select tender green beans: Choose green beans that are young, slender, and bright green in color. Avoid beans that are thick, fibrous, or have blemishes.
- Blanch the green beans: Blanching helps to preserve the beans' color and crispness. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the green beans, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of ingredients: Feel free to experiment with different ingredients in your salsa. Some popular additions include corn, black beans, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. You can also add a bit of spice with chili peppers or cayenne pepper.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning: Once you've combined all of the ingredients, taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lime juice to taste.
- Serve immediately or chill: Salsa is best served immediately, but it can also be chilled for later use. If you're chilling the salsa, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
