You can use fresh or frozen podded broad beans and if you prefer a vegan option you can swap the feta for a plant-based alternative.
This hearty Broad Bean, Tomato & Barley Salad is perfect for an alfresco lunch or light dinner. I like to serve it with some fresh homemade bread such as this easy white loaf below. Baked in the oven in a round casserole (or Dutch oven), it has a nice crusty top and is really soft inside.⠀
