HERBY BUTTER BEAN SALAD RECIPE
If you don’t want teenagers, especially hungry boys, to turn up their noses at a salad, be sure to pack it full of carbohydrates to fill them up. This Lebanese-inspired salad includes both pitta bread and butter beans, which make a mellow counterpoint to the sharpness of the lemon juice, sumac (a citrus-flavoured crushed berry) and pomegranate seeds. Great for a summer picnic with grilled meats.

Instructions
- Slice the pitta breads into strips and cut across them to make squares about 2 × 2cm. Heat a large heavy-based frying pan over a medium heat. Add a glug of oil and fry the cubes in a single layer (you might need to do this in batches) until dark golden and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and season with salt.
- Mix all the remaining ingredients together in a large serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season to taste. Toss in the pitta cubes, mix through and serve immediately.
HOW TO MAXIMISE LEMON JUICE
- To get the maximum amount of juice from a lemon or lime, roll it hard under your palm for a minute before juicing.
