POMEGRANATE, LIMA BEAN AND FETA SALAD
An extremely pretty salad that will always get compliments from your guests as it looks so festive! This is delicious as a starter or as a side with beef or lamb. It couldn't be easier, although it is a bit long "de-skinning" the lima beans. You do need to do this, so I set aside a little time as I watch a golf match and get it over and done with well in advance.
6 tbsp (5oz) pomegranate seeds
1lb frozen lima beans
5oz crumbled feta cheese
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
zest of 1 lemon
Salt to taste
Blanch the lima beans in boiling water for 1 minute. Drain and place in a bowl of iced water. Remove the opaque skin from the beans.
Place "de-skinned" beans in a bowl and add all remaining ingredients. Stir to mix and serve.
Serves 6 as a starter or side.
