Ingredients

  • 250 g of edamame beans, (fresh or frozen)
  • 100 g of watercress, thick stalks removed
  • 1 tbsp of cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp of chives, finely chopped (to serve)
  • 2 small of fennel bulbs, (or 1 large) thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp of nigella seeds, to serve

Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

    If you are using frozen edamame beans, then cook to packet instructions (usually simmering in boiling water for 5 mins). Then drain and rinse under cold water to stop them cooking.

  2. Step 2

    Using either a sharp knife or mandolin if you have one, trim the base off the fennel and slice as thinly as you can, adding it to a large mixing bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Once the edamame are cool, add them to the mixing bowl with the watercress and gently mix everything together.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk the extra virgin olive oil and cider vinegar together with a little seasoning. Add to the salad just before serving. Scatter over the nigella seeds and chopped chives to finish.
