BROAD BEAN SALAD (V)

I love broad beans ...My neighbour across the road gave me 2 kg of broad beans , this broad bean salad can be served as a light lunch or supper dish .
Firstly make a dressing by whisking together 6 tbs of extra virgin olive oil with 2 tbs of lemon juice , the grated rind of 1 lemon , 1 dsp of minced garlic,  1 tsp of castor sugar and a pinch of cracked black pepper .Set aside when you have a well blended emulsion .
Shell your fresh broad beans about 1kg.
Now boil the shelled beans in boiling salted water until tender .
Drain the beans and place in a large salad bowl .
Whisk the dressing and pour over the warm broad beans .
Crumble over 150 gm of Greek feta , thinly slice a bunch of spring onions and toss them together in the bowl ..
Hard boil 3 eggs , slice and add to the salad .
Sprinkle with dried dill and add a handful of torn mint leaves and sprinkle with a tsp of sugar to bring out the minty aroma .
