The original recipe calls for shallots. Here, we’ve substituted CSA scallions.
1/8 cup finely chopped scallions
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1/2 pound fresh green beans
1 cup radishes, cut into wedges
1/4 cup basil, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup thin shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Stir scallions and vinegar in a large mixing bowl and let sit to blend.
Boil beans in a large pot of salted water until crisp-tender. Drain; plunge into a large bowl of ice-cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain again; dry on paper towels.
Add beans to bowl with scallions. Add remaining ingredients except cheese. Toss and pour onto serving platter. Top with shaved cheese.
Serves 3.
