Week Seven: Colourful Nasturtium salad
Whipped Feta
In a food processor or blender, combine:
• Feta
• Natural yoghurt
• A good crack of black pepper
• A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of water if you need to thin it down. Set aside.
Bean Salad
In a bowl, mix together:
• Butter beans (I love using Bold Beans butter beans for their creaminess)
• Chopped nasturtium leaves
• Chopped fresh basil
• Finely sliced spring onion
• A little lemon zest (just the yellow, not the white pith!)
Simple Vinaigrette
Whisk gently until just emulsified:
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Dijon mustard
• A touch of honey
• A splash of apple cider vinegar
• Pinch of salt
Pour over the bean salad and toss gently.
No-Fuss Pickles
Finely chop or mandoline:
• Kohlrabi
Cover with:
• 3 parts apple cider vinegar
• 1 part water
• A pinch of salt
Let sit while you prep the rest — quick pickled goodness.
To Serve
Top everything with:
• Chopped, salted tomatoes
• Nasturtium flowers
