potato and broad bean salad

This is a favourite salad with all the family.  It is a little fiddly to shell the broad beans but it’s definitely worth it.

Potato and broad bean salad

 Approx 3/4 kg baby potatoes (or some very clean and scrubbed bigger potatoes)

1 packet frozen broad beans

6 slices bacon

Niki’s salad dressing

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

1 tsp sugar

2 cloves garlic (grated)

1 tsp mustard

Salt and pepper

Cut the potatoes into bite sized chunks and boil in salty water until just cooked.  Dice the bacon and fry until crunchy.  Cook the broad beans according to the packet instructions.

To make the salad dressing put all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk with a fork until combined.

Drain the potatoes and pour the salad dressing over them while they are still warm.  Take the tough outer shells off the broad beans and mix into the salad, along with the bacon.
