This recipe has been on our menu for ages but I’ve only just got round to blogging it (read that as remembered to take a photograph). I originally found a similar recipe on the internet a couple of years ago but its been adapted a lot since then. It’s delicious served with fresh bread :)

Ingredients:
Feta cheese
A bag of Peashoot salad leaves
2 courgettes
250g (ish) of frozen baby broad beans

For the dressing:
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1/2 tsp caster sugar
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1 clove crushed garlic
2 tbsp dried mint (or freshly chopped if you prefer)

1. Cook the frozen baby broad beans in boiling water for around 5 minutes until they are cooked and then leave to one side to cool

2. Slice the courgettes lengthways in about 3-4mm strips and then place on a grill pan, brush with olive oil and then grill under medium heat until they are just turning golden on both sides

3. Meanwhile, mix the dressing ingredients together, they may require a little adjustment to suit your personal taste but the mix above is a good starting place :)

4. In a large bowl, mix the peashoots, cubed feta cheese, grilled courgettes, cooked broad beans and then dress with the dressing and serve immediately.
