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.
