1. Cook the green beans briefly in boiling salted water until just softened. Drain and cool. Chop the spring onions and courgettes into long strips and fry for a few minutes.
2. For the dressing: lightly fry the red onions and garlic in olive oil for about 5 mins until soft. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining olive oil and lemon juice, season and leave to infuse until required.
3. Add the beans, courgettes, spring onions and croutons into a bowl and season.
4. Now mix together all the veg in a large bowl with the salad leaves.
5. Spoon enough of the dressing across the top to moisten, then finish with parmesan shavings.
Yes they are Courgettes in the UK and Zuccini in the States.
What is Courgettes ? Is it zucchini?
Also Rocket is also known as Arugula.
This looks delicious. Would also be nice with some beetroot - why don't you try it!!!!
