Cranberry Bean, Broccoli Rabe and Bacon Salad

Look for fresh cranberry beans in the pod at farmers’ markets during the fall. The creamy-textured, nutty-flavored beans pair beautifully with autumn greens. Broccoli rabe has nicely jagged leaves for sautéed salads, but you could easily substitute kale or chard.
