Asparagus and courgette salad with feta
Background
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.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 300g asparagus
- 2 courgettes
- 50g wild rocket/arugula
- 100g feta (vegan, if needed)
- 3 Tbsp toasted cashews
- For dressing:
- 2 tsp olive oil
- ½ lemon, juiced
- ½ tsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp honey/agave syrup
- 1 tsp chopped parsley green
Instructions
- Mix the fennel seeds and oil.
- Using a vegetable peeler “peel” the courgette into thin, long slices.
- Remove the woody ends of the asparagus.
- Put the courgette slices and asparagus into a mixing bowl, pour over the mixed oil, and coat them well.
- Turn on the grill or griddle pan and grill the marinated courgette and asparagus until lightly charred. Meanwhile, mix the dressing in a small bowl.
- Arrange the grilled vegetables on a serving platter, pour over the dressing, stir through the rocket leaves and the cashew nuts. Crumble the feta cheese on top.
- Serve lukewarm.
