Ingredients
  

  • 250g frozen broad beans (for 180g podded beans)
  • 1 large handful mint leaves
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 25g feta

Method
 

  1. Place the lemon zest and olive oil in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Cook the broad beans, from frozen, in lightly salted boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water to stop them cooking further.
  3. Let the beans cool a little, then peel them by popping them out of their skins.
  4. Place the beans and mint in a serving bowl.
  5. Whisk a tablespoon of lemon juice into the lemony oil, along with salt and pepper to taste, then pour over the beans and mint. Gently toss to dress.
  6. Finish with a crumbling of feta.

Notes

This salad is refreshing and perfect for a light meal or as a side dish.
