Broad and Green Bean Salad

Ingredients

  • 300g broad beans (fresh or frozen, we used frozen)
  • 500g green beans
  • 10 little balls bocconcini cheese, torn in two
  • 1/3 cup mint
  • 1/3 cup basil + extra leave to garnish
  • 1/3 cup parsley
  • Zest + juice 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Method:

If using frozen broad beans, put into a heat-proof bowl, cover with boiling water and leave for 2 minutes.

Drain then peel off their skins and put the beans into a salad bowl. If using fresh broad beans, pod then remove the skins and put into a salad bowl. Top and tail the green beans, lightly steam then add to the salad bowl along with the bocconcini.

Put the remaining ingredients into the jug of a stick blender and blend until smooth then pour over the salad and serve.
