WHITE BEAN SALAD WITH ZUCCHINI AND PARMESAN CHEESE
I do not remember where this came from, but I make it all the time! It is light and refreshing, perfect for spring and summer. I will warn--it is very lemony, but that is easily remedied. I sometimes make this on a Sunday and let the flavors marry overnight then have it for lunch throughout the week. The size of the salad can easily vary also.

CORN, GREEN BEAN AND ZUCCHINI SALAD
This is a pretty salad, and came from a friend who was in charge of our local symphony rehearsal dinners. I was a volunteer, along with others, and she provided all the recipes. The symphony members devoured it! I've tweaked it just a bit. I like to serve it in a clear glass bowl so all the colors show through.

Steps:
- 1. Drain the beans and corn and rinse with cold water. Cut each bell pepper into thin strips and each strip in half, horizontally.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine the green beans, corn, celery, kidney beans, zucchini, bell peppers, and green onions.
- 3. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Pour over the bean mixture and toss to coat. Cover and chill.
- 4. Before serving, stir again and transfer salad to a clear glass bowl. Garnish with bell pepper rings or a sprig of parsley or rosemary.
Tips:
- Select fresh and tender zucchini and beans. Look for zucchini that is firm and has a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that is bruised or has soft spots. Choose beans that are plump and have a bright green color. Avoid beans that are wrinkled or have brown spots.
- Blanch the zucchini and beans before adding them to the salad. This will help to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the vegetables, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the zucchini and beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Drain the vegetables and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the salad. This will help to create a complex and flavorful dish. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and lemon zest.
- Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. This salad is best served fresh, but it can also be chilled for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Zucchini bean salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this recipe a try!
