Ingredients
- 2 cups broad beans (fava beans) 250g, fresh podded or frozen
- 2 zucchini medium
- 2 cups lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons sun dried tomatoes (from a jar), chopped into small pieces
- ¼ red onion finely sliced
- 3 tablespoons feta crumbled
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint chopped
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
For the mint dressing
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ½ teaspoon sugar superfine caster
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
Instructions
- Add the broad beans to a pan of boiling water and boil for 3 minutes. Drain and run under cold water, then pour the broad beans into a bowl of iced water. Pinch them to pop the bright green broad beans out of their thick shells. Discard the shells.
- Slice the zucchini into rounds about ¼-inch thick. You can use them raw, or rub them with a little oil and lightly char them on a griddle pan.
- For the mint vinaigrette, add all ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine (or add to a lidded jar and shake).
- Pile a serving plate with the zucchini, broad beans, sun dried tomatoes, onion, mint, feta,and pumpkin seeds, then drizzle with a little of the dressing. If desired, add more dressing.
Notes
- Broad beans come prepared in different ways. Choose the ones that fit your needs the best. You can find them fresh, frozen, or canned.
- If using fresh broad beans, be sure to cook them until tender but still have a bite to them. This will give the salad a great texture and flavor.
- If you decide to grill the zucchini, ensure it's cooled before adding it to the salad, as it can make the lettuce wilt.
- If you want to make this dish ahead of time, prepare all of the ingredients and store them in separate containers in the fridge. Assemble the salad when you're ready to serve.
