This is a lovely, colorful, healthy salad and you can take a big pan of boiling water and use the same pan to cook all the vegetables one after the other. You really have to be in the kitchen for this recipe to keep an eye on the veggies as they want to be ‘al dente’. Serve with vinaigrette of your choice or mayonnaise.

4 oz French green beans (the thin ones) – topped and tailed
4 oz yellow waxed beans – topped and tailed
4 oz snowpeas/mangetout
8 baby potatoes
