Steps:
- Prepare an ice-water bath. Cook green beans in boiling salted water, just until bright green and tender, about 5 minutes. Reserving the cooking liquid, remove beans with a large slotted spoon; transfer to ice-water bath to stop the cooking. Transfer beans to a colander. Cook butter beans in the boiling cooking liquid, just until tender, 5 minutes if frozen. Strain; place under cold, running water to stop cooking. Set aside.
- Make vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper to taste, and minced shallot. Whisk in olive oil until vinaigrette is creamy. Whisk in tarragon and parsley.
- In a large bowl, toss green beans until well coated with about three-quarters of the vinaigrette. In a large bowl or on a platter, arrange the green beans in an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved butter beans over the top. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the beans. Garnish with tarragon and parsley. Serve at room temperature.

MARINATED BEAN SALAD
Steps:
- Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and add to the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and pat very dry. Add to a serving bowl along with the cannellini beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, sliced celery and leaves, red onion, peperoncini, olives and parsley.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, peperoncini brine, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Whisk in the olive oil to make a smooth dressing. Pour over the bean mixture and toss well. Season with salt if needed. This salad can be made a day ahead --- the green beans may discolor a bit because of the lemon juice but will taste even better with the longer marination time.
COLD MARINATED GREEN BEAN SALAD
I first had this cold green bean salad in Berlin, Germany. The fresh dill and onion in the vinaigrette really brightens it. I have found that this dish goes really well with potatoes.
