Broad bean, beetroot, lemon and feta salad 

For about four people:

• 500 grams of broad beans
• 2 big beetroots
• A packet of feta
• One lemon
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Mint and rosemary
• Balsamic or raspberry vinegar.

Boil the broad beans for about 10 minutes or until they are just getting soft, you want to have a bit of a bite to it. Rinse them off under cold water. Put into a mixing bowl.

Cut the beetroots in small slices and add to the bowl, add the lemon, olive oil and seasoning. Add half the herbs and save the rest to put on the plate.

You can add the crumbled feta to the bowl and mix everything, or you can add it to the plate when you are serving.

Put the bowl in the fridge for about 20 minutes and serve on plates. Top up the remaining herbs and a drizzle of balsamic or raspberry vinegar.

A great dish to pair with this Grüner Veltliner. The minerality of the wine really complements the saltiness of the feta. It’s a delicious wine, with balanced acidity, zesty and a touch of spice. Fantastic pairing to this simple salad.
