Broad Bean, Watercress, Feta and California Prune Salad

Serves 4

Preparation time  25 mins

Ingredients

275g shelled broad beans

50g watercress

100g mange tout roughly chopped

100g California prunes halved

30g pecan nuts roughly chopped

175g feta cheese

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard

1 teaspoon honey

Method

Cook the broad beans in a pan of simmering water until tender, then rinse under cold water and drain. The broad beans can be eaten like this but are nicer if the tough outer skins are removed. Divide the watercress between 4 plates and top with the broad beans, mange tout, prunes and pecan nuts, then sprinkle with the feta cheese.

Whisk together the remaining ingredients and sprinkle over the salad.
