Method

  1. Plunge the broad beans into boiling salted water and simmer for 1-2 minutes only. Drain and refresh in cold water, then, once cool, pop each bean out of its skin and put in a serving bowl (discard skins). Tip the lentils into the bowl and stir through the spring onions, peppers and herbs.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the lemon zest and juice together with the olive oil and good pinch of seasoning. Toss three-quarters of this dressing through the lentil salad until mixed through. Top with dollops of the goat’s cheese, then finish with more herbs and the remaining dressing drizzled over.

  1. Next time use cooked couscous instead of lentils and serve as a side dish for a barbecue buffet.
