Here’s one appetizer that will leave your palate intrigued and happy. Pickled Garlicky Green Bean Salad. Perfect for summer and super easy to make. I served it at my Azerbaijani supper club recently and it was a hit.

To make it, green beans are first cooked, then tossed with garlic and fresh herbs, drizzled with vinegar, and left aside for some time to soak up all the good flavors.

This dish is made with Romano beans, which are broader than the more common French green beans (haricots verts). They’re also fleshier and have flat pods with beans inside that are loaded with distinct flavor. Choose fresh and tender beans for the best results. If Romano beans are not available to you, use French green beans.
