Steps

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to a boil.

Step 2

Add asparagus and frozen peas. Boil for 6 to 8 minutes, then immediately remove the veggies from the water and place them in a bowl filled with ice water. This will stop the veggies from cooking and help preserve the vibrant green color.

Step 3

Mix together the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl and season to taste with sea salt & pepper (if needed).

Step 4

In a large bowl, add all the ingredients for the salad, including the chilled asparagus and peas. Add the dressing and gently toss the salad in the dressing.

Step 5

Garnish and season to taste with sea salt & pepper.

Step 6

Enjoy!
