Butter Bean + Summer Greens Panzanella Salad

This is a loose take of a Panzanella salad - a type of Tuscan salad traditionally made with anchovies, chopped salad veg + bread soaked in dressing. We've switched things up by using the best of summer greens - like jammy roasted courgettes + crunchy green beans - picked straight from Kathy's Garden! And paired them with creamy Queen Butter Beans, fresh herbs and croutons to add crunch, all tossed through a caper vinaigrette. It's also entirely plant-based!

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 190°C.

2

Tip the courgettes onto a large roasting tray in a single later and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender, flipping halfway through for even roasting.

3

Tear the bread into bite-sized chunks and scatter them onto a baking tray. Roast for 8-10 minutes until golden.

4

Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for about 3 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside in a bowl of ice cold water to keep their vibrant green colour and bite.

5

For the dressing, add all of the ingredients to an empty jar or small mixing bowl and mix well to combine.

6

To assemble the salad, add the butterbeans, cooked green beans, roasted courgettes, croutons, spring onions and fresh herbs to a bowl. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss everything gently to combine.
