Yum. I always admire the long beans at the farmer’s market yet never buy them. I don’t know why I find them intimidating — they’re just beans! But because they are not the beans I grew up with I guess I’m a little chicken. Now I know not to be.

Interesting adaptation for these yard long beans! I like the feta cheese on top. Yum!

Bren: Snake cucumber, huh? How interesting! So was it a very long, slender coiled up cucumber? I bet you could use it just like you would any other type of cucumber, despite its scary appearance.

i recently saw snake cucumber at a local international’s market. I was a bit trepidatious in picking up only b/c it looked kind of cookey, but I’d try these bean with the quickness. any variety of string bean is my friend. Great looking salad.

I love this recipe, particularly the preserved lemon and lemon verbena touches. I make a similar dish but without those exotic ingredients. Have a peek here: http://www.mymediterraneandiet.net/2010/04/green-beans-rocket-and-paprika-feta.html
