Ingredients
- 500g baby new potatoes

- 200g green beans
- 200g green peas
- 1 avocado
- Juice of half a lemon
Instructions
- Mix the mayonnaise with the mint leaves, mustard and 1 Tbsp water. Season with salt and pepper.
- Put the potatoes in cold salted water. Bring to boil and cook until softened - about 10 minutes - then drain.
- In the meantime blanche the beans and peas for 2-3 minutes in boiling water - or steam them in a bamboo steamer over the cooking potatoes. Rinse them with cold water and drain.
