Ingredients
For the salad
- 100g radishes
- 200g broad beans
- 100g fresh peas
- 1 large red onion
- 1 green apple
- 1 fennel bulb
For the dressing
- 1 tsp black mustard seeds
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp crushed black pepper
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp crushed black pepper
- 1 tsp sea salt
- Juice of 1 small lemon
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 tsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp French mustard
Method
First, prepare the salad ingredients. Thinly slice the radishes, onion, green apple and fennel. Chop the fennel leaves. Blanch the broad beans in hot water for 3-4 minutes, drain them, then slice them lengthwise into 4cm pieces. Set aside.
Now make the dressing. In a dry pan on a low heat, toast the black mustard and cumin seeds until they start to pop. Remove from heat and leave to cool before crushing them. In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients including the crushed mustard and cumin seeds.
Combine all the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Drizzle over the dressing and toss gently to coat.
