Griddled Courgette Salad with Chilli & Mint Salsa

August 07

The mint salsa is best made just before you are ready to serve as the leaves have a tendency to turn black. Use frozen peas if you can’t find fresh, and swap faro with grains like couscous or bulghur wheat depending on what you have in the storecupboard.

  3. 3. Whisk the ingredients for the chilli mint salsa together in a bowl. Squeeze in any remaining juice from the lemons.
  4. 4. Combine the faro, feta, fresh peas and lemon zest and half the chilli mint salsa.
