Broad Bean Salad
Blanching the broad beans in boiling water for 2 minutes helps to retain their vibrant green color and adds a slight tenderness to them. Remember not to overcook them! Make sure to have a bowl of ice water ready to immediately plunge the beans into after boiling to stop the cooking process.
