In the Kitchen With: Tyler Herald’s Summer Green Bean Salad

This week we are bringing you a great summer salad from Tyler Herald, executive chef at Napolese Pizzeria, an Indianopolis restaurant that uses the produce of more than ten local farmers on its menu. Tyler’s summer green bean salad with cherry tomatoes and peach gastrique just jumped off the page at me and I so wish I could taste it in his restaurant, but am so happy he agreed to share the recipe for it here on the column. It is a beautiful colorful salad that takes advantage of the finest produce in season now: corn, tomatoes, peaches, and green beans. I look forward to making it this weekend. If you try it out, too, please let us know! -Kristina
