Butter Bean Tomato Salad image

"I make this simple salad often for summer barbecues," writes Denise Neal of Castle Rock, Colorado. "People always like it and ask for the recipe. It can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge. And it's good served cold or at room temperature." TIP: Use care when tossing the salad with the dressing to prevent the tender butter beans from getting crushed.

The dressing is what really makes this salad shine. It's tangy, sweet, and herbaceous, and it perfectly complements the creamy butter beans and juicy tomatoes.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this salad. I'm not usually a fan of butter beans, but they were cooked perfectly and had a nice, creamy texture. The tomatoes were also very fresh and flavorful.
