Herby bean & pea salad
Background
This bean & pea salad is made with peas, fresh herbs and two types of beans. It's a lovely, crunchy salad during the summer that goes well with most roasts or barbecued/grilled meat. It only takes 10 minutes to throw together.
Ingredients
- 1 small romaine lettuce or 2 little gems
- 100g broad beans (podded)
- 100g sugarsnap peas or green peas
- 100g green beans
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp chopped mint leaves
- 1 Tbsp chopped chives
- 1 Tbsp tarragon leaves
Instructions
- Cut the lettuce in half lengthwise, then rinse and dry.
- Blanch the vegetables in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, rinse with cold water or place them in ice-cold water for a couple of minutes. Drain and dry with a tea towel.
- Squeeze the broad beans out of their shell/skins if you don't like eating them whole.
- Mix the oil, vinegar and chopped herbs.
- Arrange the lettuce, beans and peas in a large serving dish, season to taste, then toss with the dressing.
- Garnish with some herb leaves.
