- For broad beans: bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Add broad beans and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold running water. When cool, peel off the skin.
- Combine the oil, lemon juice, garlic, sugar and pepper in a screw-top jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake to blend.
- Combine the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, spring onions, olives, mint, parsley and cooked beans in a large bowl. Just before serving, drizzle the lemon dressing over salad and toss to coat well. Sprinkle each serving with fetta.
tip
To cook frozen edamame beans, add pods to boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and place into iced water to cool and then pod beans. You'll need about 2 cups pods to get 1 cup beans.
