Method

  1. Boil the broad beans for three minutes, drain and cool under the tap. Slip them out of their skins.

  2. Shave the courgette lengthways into ribbons with a peeler, stopping at the seedy core. Toss with a pinch of salt and the lemon juice and leave for five minutes to soften.

  3. Add the beans, oil, lemon zest and mint, and crumble the feta over. Chilli flakes and pepper to finish.

Worth knowing

  • Light for a lunch at 309 kcal. A slice of sourdough or a handful of cooked quinoa alongside takes it to a full one.
  • Skin the broad beans. In a raw salad the grey skins are tough and bitter, and they are the one thing that will let the plate down.
