Ingredients
    spring greens salad:
  • 1 bunch of asparagus, tender tops only
  • 1/2 cup peas
  • a few handfuls of salad greens
  • 1/2 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • a few sliced radishes
  • 1/2 cup sliced mozzarella balls (vegan sub: avocado)
  • handful of chopped, toasted pistachios
  • handful of herbs: chives and mint
  • basil & mint oil:
  • a big handful of basil and mint
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus some zest
  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • 2 (or more) tablespoons olive oil
  • salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. In a food processor, pulse together your dressing ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings. Set aside.
  2. Chop your asparagus into 1 inch pieces. Blanch them for about 45 seconds in a pot of boiling, salted water. Remove immediately and transfer asparagus to a bowl of ice water. Let cool, then drain. (If you’re using fresh peas, blanch the peas as well, if you’re using frozen ones, just let them thaw and add them to your salad raw).
  3. In a large bowl toss together the asparagus, peas, salad greens, chickpeas, radishes and mozzarella. Add as much of the dressing as you like and toss again. Add pistachios, chives and mint. Taste and adjust seasonings. Transfer the salad to a platter and serve.
  4. This salad can be made up to a day in advance, just leave out the salad greens until you’re ready to serve.
