Chinese Long Bean

Delicate scallops need only a brief marinade before a short stint on the grill, meaning you can have this summery slam dunk on the table in 35 minutes.

Thai papaya salad is an ideal summer side dish and packs up well if you want to take it with you.

Grilled cheese? Yes, please. But not that kind. We’re talking creamy-charred paneer with grilled green beans—a perfect vegetarian side for your next cookout.

You can find long beans, the Rapunzel of green beans, at Asian markets.

Find long beans at Asian or specialty grocers.

This salad from Street in Los Angeles is inspired by Vietnamese green papaya salad.
