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.
