Background

This pea and asparagus salad is ready in 10 minutes. Furthermore it's not meant to be eaten hot, so you can prepare it advance - or at the last minute if you have unexpected guests around! It's a perfect side dish in the summer, particularly for barbecues or roast dinners.

Ingredients

200g green asparagus
4 handfuls of peas
4 handfuls of mangetout or sugarsnap peas
½ lemon, Juice and zest
½ clove of garlic, pressed
4 Tbsp olive oil
½ tsp honey
3 handfuls of fresh mint leaves
2 handfuls of pea shoots (optional)
Parmesan cheese (vegetarian)

Instructions

Blanche the asparagus and peas in boiling, lightly salted water for 3-4 minutes. Rinse under cold water and drain.
Meanwhile, make the dressing: mix the oil with honey, garlic, lemon zest and juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Place the asparagus and peas in a large serving bowl, add the mint leaves and pea sprouts, then drizzle the dressing on top.
Using a vegetable peeler, shave some thin parmesan slivers and scatter on top.
Serve at room temperature.
