Wash the Lettuce leaves and dry gently with some kitchen roll, leaving them whole
Wash the Broad Bean leaves gently too… You could easily use another kind of herby leaf here; Rocket or Watercress would work well
Wash the Cherry Tomatoes and leave them whole
Wash the Cucumber and slice
Halve the Lime (or Lemon)
Just before serving, halve or quarter the Avocado (it will go a bit brown if you cut it and leave it out too early… unless you squeeze Lemon Juice all over it)
Arrange all the bits and pieces on a large plate or platter, with some of the Salsa spooned over the Lettuce (or some chopped Red Pepper and/or Red Onion). Serve a little jug of Rape Seed Oil alongside the wedges of Citrus (by way of dressing…)
Let people help themselves to whatever they fancy. This is a brilliant and healthy salad dish for eating with flatbread and tahini sauce etc – also on the side with BBQ’d meats and some Brown Bread Rolls. Another excellent dish to enjoy with this salad would be Ottolenghi’s Meatballs
