Runner beans and new potatoes give our meals a taste of summer, and are good in a salad, too.

In a salad bowl mix:

1 lb (500g) diced boiled new potatoes

½ lb (200g) wedges of boiled runner beans

1/2lb (200g) halved cherry tomatoes.

For salad dressing whisk together:

3 tablespoonfuls of rapeseed, or olive oil

1 tablespoonful of cider vinegar

1 teaspoonful of honey

salt and pepper.

Pour over salad and mix well.  Decorate the salad with chopped hard-boiled eggs and chives.  Cubes of Feta, or cheddar cheese turn this into a meal.
