Shop The Recipe
Directions
Blanch the courgettes, whole, in a pan of boiling salted water for 10 minutes. Leave to cool before cutting into bite-sized chunks.
Add the diced onion, fresh herbs and beans with a pinch of salt to a mixing bowl and toss well to combine. Set aside.
Add the vinegar, honey and olive oil to an empty jar (a great way to reuse the bean jar!) with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Close the jar and shake vigorously to emulsify.
Add the chopped and sliced courgettes to a large bowl with the fennel, radishes, peas, lettuce and pea shoots. Pour in the herby bean and onion mixture and pour over the dressing. Toss well to combine.
Cover generously with shaved ricotta or parmesan and serve.
