Green Bean, Goat Cheese and Kalamata Salad

Serving Size : 4

1 cup fresh green beans, topped and tailed
1/8 cup Kalamata olives, stoned and sliced
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
maldon sea salt to taste
1/2 cup goat's cheese, ricotta, soft feta or similar

First blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes and refresh
in iced water. When cool, slice the beans as thinly as you can lengthwise.
In a bowl toss the beans, with sliced olives, lemon juice, extra virgin olive
oil, pepper and salt to taste. Lastly, crumble the cheese and very gently fold
through the beans so as not to break it up too much or turn it to a creamy
dressing! Divide into 4 portions and serve immediately.
