Zucchini, green bean & pea salad

Ingredients

2 zucchinis

250g green beans

250g peas (fresh or frozen)

1 clove garlic

Juice of a lemon

Extra virgin olive oil

¼ cup fresh mint leaves (or other herbs you like)

Mitzithra (Greek cheese) or salted dry ricotta for grating

Method

• Slice zucchinis into thin strips using a peeler
• Coat with a light drizzle of olive oil and char on a hot grill. Set aside
• Remove tops from the beans and shell peas
• Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a rapid boil and cook the beans for 2 minutes
• Remove and add to a bowl of iced water to ‘refresh’ for a minute. Drain and set aside
• Repeat this process with the peas
• Crush the garlic clove and place in a small plate. Cover crushed garlic with the lemon juice and set aside till needed. This will take away the strong garlic flavour.

How to assemble the salad

To assemble salad, mix the zucchini, peas, beans, mint leaves, garlic with lemon juice and drizzle with olive oil. Season and taste (you might like to add more lemon juice or olive oil). Grate some mitzithra or salted dry ricotta or feta cheese on top, before serving.
