Recipe: Tomato Salad with Red Beans

A colorful mix of heirloom tomatoes is bulked up with red or pink beans.

My summer tomato salads are sweet, minty and decidedly Greek in nature. Greek because I can never resist throwing in feta, and because I’m pretty wild about mint, too.

This one, a colorful mix of heirloom tomatoes, is bulked up with red or pink beans. But it’s not a bean salad with tomatoes; it’s a tomato salad with beans. I added celery to the mix for its crunchy texture, which is nice against both the juicy tomatoes and the soft beans, and because I love its herbal, crisp and refreshing flavor.
