Finally my courgettes and french beans are ready to be picked! This quick salad really shows them off in all their glory. The lovely Bridget has just made a fresh batch of her incredible raspberry vinegar and it is absolutely perfect in for this dish. If you don’t have a lovely Bridget who makes awesome raspberry vinegar then you should definitely try Womersley’s Raspberry Vinegar which you can buy online.

Ingredients:

• French beans topped and tailed
• yellow courgettes thinly sliced to the same shape and size as the beans
• mint leaves
• fennel fronds
• white poppy seeds
• onion flowers

For the dressing:

• Halen Môn salt flakes
• heaped tablespoon English mustard
• 2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar
• glug of extra virgin olive oil
• few grinds black pepper

Method:

Pop your french beans into a pan of boiling salted water for just 4 minutes then blanch in cold water and dry. Combine with your courgettes, herbs and poppy seeds. Put all your dressing ingredients into a jam jar and shake to mix then pour over your veg and mix well, sprinkle your onion flowers over the top.
