Broad Bean Feta Salad

If you cannot find low-fat feta, you may be able to find something called ‘low fat salad cheese’ instead, which tastes very similar.

Ingredients:

• 450g shelled fresh broad beans
• 225g cherry tomatoes
• 200g low-fat feta cheese
• 12 black olives, stoned
• 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice
• Small handful freshly chopped parsley
• Salt and pepper

Method of Preparation:

1. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Put the broad beans into boiling salted water, and cook for two minutes before draining. Place into a bowl.
2. Crumble the feta into the bowl with the broad beans and add the tomatoes. Chop the olives in half and sprinkle in the feta.
3. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk the olive oil and lemon juice together then pour over the ingredients in the bowl. Stir well to combine.

You could heat all of the ingredients in a frying pan until just warm so that this is a warm salad; although it is just as delicious cold. Recipe serves two.
