Spring Salad with a Mandarin & Sesame Dressing

{ THIS BEAUTIFUL CRUNCHY SALAD CAN BE TOSSED TOGETHER IN JUST 15 MINUTES AND IS SURE NOT TO WILT THROUGHOUT A DINNER PARTY! }

{ INGREDIENTS }

½ cup lightly blanched broad beans, cooled, skins removed

¼ cup freshly shelled peas

8-10 asparagus spears, blanched, halved lengthways

1 medium golden beetroot, thinly sliced

12-15 snow peas, blanched

 

MANDARIN & SESAME DRESSING

¼ cup mandarin or orange juice

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon cold-pressed olive oil

½ teaspoon quality salt

1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger

1 small garlic clove, finely minced

{ METHOD }

Toss all the salad ingredients together in a large serving bowl and set aside while you make the dressing.

Place all the dressing ingredients in a jar and shake vigorously until well combined. Pour over salad when ready to serve.

Works well with any rice dish and is a wonderful side dish for a BBQ!

 

Tip For a salad like this, I use a mandolin to cut vegetables into a perfectly even thinness, making for a prettier salad that’s slightly more delicate to eat.
