English Garden Salad

Serves 4 Prep 10 min Cook 25 min

Ingredients

  • 500g new potatoes, sliced
  • 350g runner beans, trimmed and diagonally sliced
  • 1 bunch spring onions, chopped
  • 240g tub sunblush or sun-dried tomatoes, drained
  • 200g Cheshire or Lancashire cheese, crumbled
  • 1 good handful fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
  • 4-5 tbsp honey and mustard dressing

Method

  1. Slice the potatoes and cook them in a large pan of salted boiling water for 7 minutes. While they're cooking, trim and diagonally slice the runner beans and chop the spring onions. Add the beans to the pan and cook for a further 7-9 minutes, until the potatoes and beans are just tender.
  2. Drain the veg and run under cold water to halt the cooking. Shake the colander to get rid of as much water as possible, then tip into a large bowl. Add the onions and tomatoes, crumble in the cheese and mix well.
  3. Add most of the mint and dressing and toss everything lightly together. Tip into a serving dish, drizzle with a little more dressing and scatter over the rest of the mint.

Notes

Easily halved to serve two, or doubled for a crowd. Vegetarian. Use sunblush or sun-dried tomatoes. Honey and mustard dressing used to finish.
