Broad Bean, Pea & Mint Salad

A Taste of Summer in Every Spoonful 🌿
This simple, vibrant dish is a celebration of early summer’s freshest stars – broad beans, garden peas, mint, and lemon. These seasonal gems are not only bursting with colour and flavour but also rich in nutrients that support energy, digestion, and hormone balance. Broad beans and peas bring plant-based protein and fibre, while mint adds a cooling, digestive lift and lemon offers a zesty dose of vitamin C.

Light, refreshing, and quick to prepare, this dish is perfect as a side, a picnic bowl, or a base for grilled fish or feta. It’s the kind of recipe that lets seasonal produce shine – no fuss, just feel-good food.
