This salad is a great way to use seasonal ingredients! Combining asparagus, snow peas, peas, cos (romaine) and some goat’s feta for that extra flavour.

Ingredients

  • For the Salad
  • 3 bunches (24 spears) asparagus, ends snapped off

  • 16 large snow peas

  • 1 head of romaine/cos lettuce

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen peas

  • 90g goat’s feta

  • 1 cup (loosely packed) fresh mint leaves

  • For the Dressing
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (from 1 lemon)

  • 2 Tbsp (30ml) lemon juice

  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 1/4 tsp (each) salt and pepper

Directions

  • Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add snow peas to pot, boil for 1.5 minutes.
  • Add the asparagus spears, boil for another 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Add frozen peas, and boil for another 30 seconds or until the water just returns to a simmer, and the peas turn bright green.
  • Immediately drain, refresh vegetables under cold running water until cooled to stop the cooking process.
  • Remove the asparagus and snow peas, blot them with paper towels to dry. Leave peas in a colander to drain, giving them a toss now and then to help them dry.
  • Split the larger baby cos leaves down the middle, use the small ones whole. Cut asparagus stems in half on a slight angle.
  • Shake all of the dressing ingredients in a jar.
  • Combine vegetables in a bowl, dress and toss.
  • Arrange salad on a platter. Top with small chunks of goats cheese. Serve immediately!
