This salad makes the most of all the beautiful spring produce around at the moment. Reducing verjuice is something we do at Bennelong to give a nice bit of sweetness and acid to the dressing.

Ingredients

  • 200ml semillon or other white wine-grape verjuice

  • 1 eschallot finely diced

  • fine sea salt to taste

  • 50ml extra virgin olive oil

  • 100g small snowpeas

  • 100g sugar snap peas

  • 50g Roman or flat beans

  • 50g shelled peas

  • 50g double shelled broad beans

  • 50g roasted pepitas

  • 100g goat's feta

  • small bunch mint leaves

  • small bunch basil leaves

Method

  1. 1. Place the verjuice into a small saucepan and reduce over a high heat until 50 millilitres remains. Place the finely diced eschallot into a small bowl. Pour the reduced verjuice over the finely diced eschallot. Add a pinch of sea salt and mix well. Add the virgin olive oil, mix well and put aside.

    2. Top and tail the snow peas, snap peas and Roman beans. Bring a large pot of water to the boil and have a large pot of iced water standing by. Blanch all the peas and beans in the boiling water for one minute, strain and refresh in the iced water. Drain the iced water and place the peas and beans into a large bowl. Pour the dressing over and mix well. Place the peas and beans on a serving platter and lightly season with sea salt. Crumble over with the goat's feta, sprinkle over the roasted pepitas, garnish with mint and basil leaves.
