What cute beans!! Even though I don’t like beans, it would’ve been hard to resist snatching up a bag of these.

You inspired me to pick up some strange looking dried beans! I hope mine come out as good! Thanks for the recipe.

What an unusual looking bean! I’ve been experimenting with heirloom beans lately but I’ve never seen these before. I will seek them out!
Great blog! Very impressive photography and the recipes look wonderful! I will be back!

I suppose I should try this, since I’m only a few blocks from Naschmarkt!

These beans look wonderful. I’ve had scarlet runner beans in the past, which look quite like these. I wonder if they’re the same? Either way they’re delicious, and your bean salad looks like a wonderful way to use up a big batch.

goodness me Hannah, I’ve never thought to eat beans like this.
I save them each from the last of my runner bean pods and always have more than I can sow for the following year. You’ve literally given me food for thought there!
ps. don’t you just love the feel of the beans. So silky and smooth. I almost wondered about trying to thread them to make a bracelet (not sure if you’d have to varnish them in some way if you did that)

This looks DELICIOUS! I adore light and simply bean salads with zesty vinaigrettes. Yours has so much beautiful color, I can’t wait to give it a try. Wish I could find beans that pretty around here.

I LOVE beans. A lot. Those are so gorgeous! Completely unexpected.

The dish sounds fab, too. I love bean salads.

Those are beautiful! They remind me of a pony with their gorgeous coloring! I found your blog via a post to your knit pizza on WhipUp. That is SO CUTE! I would love to link to it if you didn’t mind.

Haha. What a practical impulse buy!!

Those beans are beautiful, though, so I can see why you bought them. I’d probably do the same thing. :) Your salad looks/sounds delightful!
