Step 1

Put a medium pot of salted water over a high heat and bring to the boil. Use a lid and the water will boil faster.

Step 2

Put your blender jug or food processor body onto your kitchen scales and weigh directly into it, this will save time and dishes. Weigh/measure all of your ingredients directly into it.  Blitz it up until you have a nice smooth consistency and season with salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Halve your cucumber lengthways and slice into chunks. Slice your spring onions.

Step 4

When your water is boiling, add the green beans and boil for one minute. Strain and refresh in cold water.

Step 5

Grab a large bowl and toss the beans, cucumber and spring onion together.  Pour in half the dressing and toss to combine.

Step 6

Arrange the salad on a platter or a shallow bowl. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if you’re feeling fancy!
