Pasta salad with summer beans & herbs from Williams-Sonoma: Salad of the Day (Revised): 365 Recipes for Every Day of the Year by Georgeanne Brennan

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I thought it would be fun to try a new seasonal recipe from my WS 365 Days of Salad cookbook - in this case right in the first week of July. I chose the July 3 recipe. That turned out to be a mistake, and for the first time using this cookbook, most of the recipe’s main seasonal ingredients were not available. I scouted three grocery stores and none had yellow wax beans or any kind of shelling beans. I ended up buying mixed frozen green and wax beans and some fresh haricots verts. The resulting salad was okay rather than great. The amount of olive oil called for, coupled with the dressing, would have made the salad soupy, so I reduced both. Granted, the 2 pounds of shelling beans were missing, so I’m sure that made a difference. As I was making the salad I noticed the side note said “Fresh shelling beans thrive in the late summer months...and few cooks realize the distinctive qualities they add.” Ah! The recipe is misplaced by 6 weeks. I’ll try again in mid- late August.
