Method

  1. Cut the potato into bite-sized pieces and cook in boiling salted water for 15 minutes, then drain. Cook the green beans in boiling salted water for 4 minutes. Add the broad beans, cook for 1 minute, then drain and refresh under cold running water.
  2. Put the potatoes and beans into a serving dish. Remove the garlic and half the olives from the feta and reserve. Add the feta and remaining olives to the bean mixture.
  3. Make the dressing. Crush the garlic from the feta pack with a little salt. Mix with the mustard and vinegar in a small bowl, whisking in the oil a little at a time. Season. Chop the reserved olives, anchovies and gherkins. Sieve the garlic out of the dressing and mix the olives, anchovies and gherkins into the dressing. Mix into the salad. Quarter the eggs and add to the salad along with the onion slices, if using.

  1. The potato can be added hot or replaced with wedges of tomato for a lighter meal. Shredded runner or flat beans could also be added to the salad.

  2. You can make this in advance and store it in the fridge – bring it back to room temperature by putting it into a fresh bowl and leaving it out of the fridge for about 20 minutes before serving.
