Wax-Bean Salad with Chorizo image

This quick summer salad combines cooked wax beans with crisp slices of chorizo sausage. Cooking the beans in the chorizo drippings imparts a rich, smoky flavor to the dish. Try using a few slices of bacon, chopped, in place of chorizo.

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces dried chorizo, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
3/4 pound wax beans, trimmed
4 teaspoons sherry vinegar
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
