I love a good salad, but not if you have to hunt for the goodies in amongst the lettuce!  This salad actually doesn’t have lettuce, just healthy goodies.  A great accompaniment to some of my BBQ recipes!

Ingredients

200g trimmed green beans

2 ripe nectarines

½ cucumber halved length ways, deseeded and chopped into pieces

½ red onion very thinly sliced

1 avocado halved, peeled and sliced

100g good quality feta cheese

Small bunch mint chopped

Small bunch coriander chopped

Dressing

Juice of one lemon

1 tbsp white wine vinegar

1 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp grain mustard

Method

1. Make the dressing by combining all ingredients in a jar and give a good shake and set aside
2. Bring a saucepan of water to boil.  Add the beans, boil for 3 minutes then drain and run under cold water and pat dry
3. Slice the nectarines and gently griddle on the BBQ (if you do not have a BBQ you can just serve sliced)
4. Place the beans, cucumber, red onion, avocado and herbs into a salad bowl
5. Sprinkle over the feta cheese
6. Dress and toss the salad with the dressing
