Green Bean & Feta Salad
An Original Recipe by Not Quite Nigella
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 2 minutes
Serves 4 as a side salad
- 500g/1lb green beans
- 75g/2.65ozs feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons natural yogurt
- 4 tablespoons pesto
- 2 radishes
- 2 tablespoons pistachios
Step 1 - Top and tail the beans and then cut the larger ones in half. Put a pot of water onto boil and blanch the beans in the water i.e. simmer them for a minute and then plunge them in an ice bath. This sounds much more dramatic than it actually is.
Step 2 - Drain the beans and place them on a serving plate. Thinly slice the radishes and place on top of the beans. Process the feta cheese and yogurt and dollop over the beans and then spoon the pesto on top of this. Sprinkle with pistachios and serve.
