Broad Bean, Dill and Feta Salad image

The original recipe for this came from Sybil Kapoor's Simply British cookbook, but she used mint. I favour dill but of course you could use whatever takes your fancy at the time. A lovely salad when broad beans come out in early summer and also hearty enough that you could take it to work for lunch.
