Really, Truly Gorgeous Dried Fruit Salad

Recipe by: PixiePixiePixie

Be the first to review it!

A really, truly gorgeous dried fruit salad that I serve in the evenings to share with my mum and sisters over a good movie. Of course you don't have to use organic food or rainforest honey... but sometimes these little touches help I think. Add the pine nuts however much or little you like them, about 2 tablespoons is good for me.

Full of flavour and contrasting textures, the ingredients for this refreshing salad are mixed together in a smooth, creamy anchovy dressing. It's a good way to make the most of fresh broad beans (in season from the end of May to early July). At other times of the year, you can use frozen broad beans.
