Ingredients
- 2 courgettes
- 300g frozen or podded broad beans
- ½ Savoy cabbage (about 300g)
- 100g mange tout
- 4 spring onions
- ½ x 20g pack chives, finely chopped
- ½ x 30g pack parsley, leaves chopped
- ½ x 30g pack mint, leaves chopped
For the dressing
- 225g buttermilk
- 100g light mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp lime juice
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
Step by step
- Coarsely grate the courgettes using a box grater or the grating attachment of a food processor. Toss with a large pinch of salt and place in a colander set over a bowl to draw out excess water while you prepare the rest of the slaw ingredients.
- Cook the broad beans in boiling water for 3 minutes or until tender, then drain and plunge into iced water. Once cool, pop the inner beans from their opaque skins and set aside.
- Core and finely shred the Savoy cabbage and place in a large bowl. Finely slice the mange tout and spring onions on the diagonal. Add to the bowl with the fresh herbs and the double-podded broad beans and season well with salt.
- Whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing and season to taste. Pour over the veg, toss well to coat and leave to sit for 15 minutes before serving. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary before serving.
