Superfast Summer Recipes
Celebrate the season with these 20-minute recipes using the freshest produce.
Haricots Verts and Grape Tomato Salad with Crème Fraîche Dressing
This dish turns your table into a fancy French bistro, but it requires exactly two minutes of cooking. Seek out real crème fraîche―it's thicker and a bit less tangy than sour cream―though sour cream will do in a pinch. This dressing is excellent on any kind of salad, and you can leave out the shallots to use it on fruit salads, too, especially those with melon.
