Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cooking Time 8-10 minutes

Ingredients

2 x 100 g firm feta blocks
280 g fine green beans, trimmed and steamed
350 g mini cucumbers, halved lengthways
2–3 celery sticks, thinly sliced
2 Woolworths Romaine lettuce hearts
5 g fresh mint, for sprinkling

For the dressing and marinade, whisk:

1 lemon, zested
3 T lemon juice
1½ t Dijon mustard
1–2 garlic cloves, finely grated
8 T olive oil
2 T fresh mint, finely chopped
honey, to taste
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

1. Pat dry the feta and marinate in half the dressing.

2. Toss the beans, cucumbers and celery in the remaining marinade.

3. Before serving, drain the feta and vegetables, reserving the dressing for the washed and dried lettuce leaves.

4. Arrange the dressed lettuce on a platter, then spoon over the vegetables. Break the feta and add to the platter and scatter with mint.
