It's low-cal and filling—as in perfect for swimsuit season. I make it a day ahead so the veggies can marinate and the flavor pops.

Cooks' Note

*Blanching makes beans tender and bright. Boil 'em for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to stop the cooking.

**Chiffonade is a fancy word for cutting leafy greens into ribbons. Stack the leaves, roll up and slice thinly.
