Simple, seasonal and fresh, this heirloom cattle bean summer salad was born from a stroll through the farmers market for inspiration. The petite green beans, the vibrant cherry tomatoes, and the fresh fennel bulb with gorgeous fronds of greens – every ingredient just felt right in the moment that I laid eyes on them.

Bring beans to a simmer over medium heat, skim off any foam that accumulates on the surface, and then set heat to low. Simmer beans for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally until beans are soft. Make sure that the beans stay submerged the whole time.
