PINCH OF SPRING 🌼 kicking off my new Spring Soirée Series with a super easy Asparagus & Minty Pea Salad! This series is centred around recipes to share with your nearest and dearest over Sunday lunch, dinner party or BBQ 🫶 I’ll drop a new recipe every week ❤️ Ingredients 📝 2-3 bunches of asparagus, ends trimmed 1 cup frozen peas Whipped Goats Cheese 📝 100g goats cheese log 1⁄2 cup cream cheese 1 tbsp honey Juice of 1/2 lemon Tangy Mint Vinaigrette 🌱 2 tbsp olive oil handful of fresh mint leaves, finely chopped 2 tbsp honey 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard Juice of the other lemon half 1 garlic clove, minced Pinch of salt Method: 1. Start off by blanching the asparagus - prepare a large bowl of ice water and set aside. Add asparagus to large pot of boiling water and cook for 2 1⁄2 -3 minutes until vibrant green and crisp. Transfer asparagus into the iced water (this will stop the cooking process and keep them bright green). After a minute or so, remove from water and set aside in the fridge. Cook the peas in the same water and set aside. 2. To make the whipped goats cheese, add goats cheese, cream cheese, lemon and honey to a food processor or Nutribullet and whip on high until combined, light, fluffy and spreadable. If it’s too thick, adjust by adding a little water or milk. 3. To make the minty honey vinaigrette, add olive oil, mint, honey, lemon juice, garlic and salt into a small jar or bowl and shake / whisk until evenly combined. Toss peas in the dressing right before serving (otherwise the acidity of vinaigrette will dull the peas). 4. To assemble the salad, spread whipped goats cheese in a thick layer on the serving plate. Top with asparagus, peas and a drizzle of extra dressing. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, lemon zest, a drizzle of olive oil, salt & little pepper! #pea #spring #salad #asparagus #springsalad #canola #flowers #florals #greensalad #whippedgoatscheese #entertaining #party #saladrecipe #easyrecipe #explore #fyp #dietitian #healthy #healthyrecipes
