This is a classic fresh and minty Mediterranean salad. It's excellent for a summer barbecue but is also the traditional accompaniment for my
Mediterranean Stuffed Lamb with Dijon Mustard Sauce.
Ingredients:
2 celery sticks
1/2 red onion, chopped
8 cherry tomatoes, quartered
4 tablespoons butter beans
4
spring onions, roughly chopped
1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
juice of 1/2 lime
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
chopped fresh
parsley
chopped fresh
dill
fresh
chervil to garnish
Fresh rocket (arugula) leaves, to garnish
Method:
Cook the butter beans beforehand, drain and allow to cool. Place in a mixing bowl, add the chopped vegetables and toss together before adding the oil, vinegar, lime juice and herbs. Toss to mix, garnish with the chervil and rocket leaves then serve immediately.
This is an excellent salad to accompany lamb dishes or lamb chops and also works well with strongly-flavoured fish.
