Asparagus and courgette salad with feta
This super easy yet healthy asparagus and courgette salad with feta is a lovely dish all year round. You can serve it as a main dish for a light lunch or as a side dish with grilled meat/ fish for a more filling meal. If you don’t like or have cashew nuts, use pine nuts or walnuts instead! The feta can be substituted with plant-based version for a dairy-free meal. Vegans should use agave or maple syrup instead of honey.
