Serving suggestions

Although designed to be an accompaniment, I see no reason why this recipe should not be served as a main course salad for 2. With some bread it would be a very balanced and healthy meal.

Variations

Instead of normal mayonnaise, I like to use Not-for-wimps garlic mayonnaise for a bit more bite.

Chef's notes

Do not overcook the beans - they are much better if they are 'al dente'.

I made this recipe using homegrown baby runner beans. As there were not that many of them, I made up the difference with frozen peas and served it with gravadlax and homegrown cucumbers. --Chef 09:44, 13 July 2011 (BST)
