Summer Bean Salad with Toasted Walnuts and Pecorino Fresco

This vibrant summer bean salad is a celebration of seasonal textures and refined flavours. A trio of green beans, yellow wax beans, and delicate haricots verts provides a satisfying crunch, while the toasted walnuts add a deep, earthy richness. The dish is brought together with a sharp Sherry vinegar and walnut oil dressing, which cuts through the creamy, semi-firm shavings of pecorino fresco for a perfectly balanced vegetarian starter or side.

Ideal for alfresco dining or a sophisticated light lunch, this heart-healthy salad is as nutritious as it is beautiful on the plate. If you cannot find pecorino fresco, a young Manchego makes an excellent substitute, offering a similar salty tang. You can prepare the beans and dressing a day in advance, making this a stress-free option for summer entertaining or midweek meal prep.
