Ingredients |
Serves 4 as a main dish
150g rocket leaves
10 radishes

Method |
- Cook the broad beans in boiling water for about 5 minutes (depending on the size of the beans), until tender.
- Wash the rocket and salad leaves and dry thoroughly. Tear them into fork-sized pieces and arrange on the serving plate.
- Wash the radishes and trim the stalks and roots. Chop the radishes and arrange on top of the salad leaves.
- Wash the tomatoes and cut them in half. Use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds and then chop the flesh roughly. Scatter the flesh on top of the salad leaves.
- Drain the broad beans and cool in cold water. Then add to the salad.
- Mix the dressing ingredients together until well blended (this is easiest in a screw-top jar).
- Pour the dressing on top of the salad.
Delicious as a starter or an accompaniment to a main meal.
