Here’s a speedy bean salad with bright, fresh, Mediterranean flavors. For variety, use halved cherry or grape tomatoes instead of Roma (plum). In August or September, try heirloom tomatoes. Serve with Grilled Tuna with Spicy Scallion Mayonnaise, Broiled Chicken with Basil Mayonnaise, or Herb-Grilled Shrimp with Lemon Mayonnaise. Too much work? Cook shrimp or calamari in olive oil with garlic and parsley. If you can’t face a skillet, top with boiled shrimp, canned tuna or salmon, or HB eggs. Tip: The anchovies add depth and intensity, but—if they’re not your thing—just omit them.
