A simple salad winner for the summer months. Amazingly easy to whip together, but seems like side salad that has gone an extra mile. I sometimes also like to eat this as a light lunch on the warmer days. It doesn’t take too much ingredients - most of which are store cupboard stables. I tend to keep a packet of broad beans in the freezer for throw together meals like this one.
This dressing has lovely punchy and creamy flavours, which elevate the dish. For a simpler recipe, it also works perfectly with a simple mix of olive oil and Balsamic.
I recommend to serve as it is with some bread, or with some grilled meats or fish for a more substantial meal

I am unfamiliar with 'broad beans! Do you mean lima beans?
