TOMATO-GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS, FETA AND DILL
This is a perfect salad for summer, when the market is chockablock with great produce. Use whatever tomatoes are sweetest, and feel free to add yellow wax beans or romano beans in addition to green beans. If your market has fresh shelling beans, use those instead of chickpeas. Plan ahead to soak dried chickpeas overnight. With a soak, they only take an hour to cook, and taste better than canned ones.

Steps:
- For the salad: Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms to the melted butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture, about 6 minutes. Stir in the thyme, Worcestershire, celery, garlic and salt to taste. Cook until the garlic and thyme are aromatic and the celery is starting to brown on the edges, about 2 minutes. The celery should still be lightly crisp. Add more salt if desired. Take off the heat and spread on a sheet tray to cool.
- Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Set up a large bowl of ice water and line a sheet tray with a paper towel or kitchen towel. Generously season the boiling water with salt. Add the green beans and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a spider or drain in a colander and transfer to the ice bath. Once cooled, transfer the green beans to the lined sheet tray and thoroughly pat dry.
- For the creamy Parmesan dressing: Whisk together the yogurt, Parmesan, mayonnaise, sherry vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Refrigerate if not using immediately.
- To assemble: To the bowl of dressing, add the green beans, mushroom mixture and romaine. Toss to combine and everything is fully coated. Transfer to a serving dish and top with the almonds and crispy fried onions. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when bent. Avoid beans that are wilted, yellowed, or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans: Before cooking, trim the ends of the green beans. You can also remove the strings from the beans if desired.
- Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the beans are bright green and tender. Drain the beans in a colander and rinse with cold water.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add other vegetables that you like, such as bell peppers, carrots, or celery.
- Make the salad ahead of time: This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
