Ingredients

  • 200g frozen peas
  • 100g frozen edamame, shelled
  • 100g frozen broad beans, shelled
  • 1 small red onion
  • 100-120g bag of rocket salad leaves
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh dill, or dried dill tips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure out the frozen beans and peas, defrost or run under room temp water until any frozen chunks separate.
  2. Thinly slice an onion, fry in a little olive oil until soft but not necessarily browned.
  3. Add the frozen beans and peas and stir to warm through.
  4. Add rocket leaves to a salad bowl. Add fresh chopped dill to bowl or dried dill to bean mix. (This is optional as I frequently forget to add the dill at all)
  5. When the bean mix has warmed through and cooled slightly, pour bean mix over the rocket leaves, add a drizzle of olive oil and fresh cracked salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • I make this to go with my vegetarian lasagna recipe. It works well as cold leftovers in lasagna lunchboxes for days later.
  • My husband loves this salad, which is in itself a minor miracle, with or without the dill which I frequently forget.
  • The most annoying thing is finding shelled frozen broad beans - I have to go to the Asian grocery where I stock up.
  • You can substitute lots of things, forget the dill, sub dill for fennel, sub red onion for red cabbage, use a different ratio of beans or peas or just beans or just peas... Use a different oil or add chunks of boiled potatoes...
