Winged Bean and Tomato Salad with Dill and Mint

Although I prefer the distinct crunch of stir-fried winged beans, boiled beans pair particularly well with dressings, plumping slightly with the absorption of oil. The texture will not be as crisp as that of string beans, nor will the flavor be as freshly green, but the look can’t be beat: graceful, green, four-pointed stars tossed with bright cherry-tomato halves.
