This is an absolutely stunning salad; it looks beautiful, it tastes amazing and it is very impressive for a dinner party. I just love it, hoping you will, too.

I have only ever had good feedback with this one, and in fact some people are surprised by how simple yet delicious it is. I guess it comes down to the quality of your ingredients. So go for the best bocconcini, but I am all for frozen peas and broad beans, despite them getting a bad wrap on some poncy cooking shows, but seriously, for this recipe? PERFECT. I do suggest you peel the broad beans though, much prettier and a better end result!
