Paradise Salad

This is a big salad for a special occasion, but you can easily halve or quarter the recipe for fewer people. In winter, swap out the asparagus for lightly blanched green beans.

Prep time:
20 mins
Serves:
10-12
  • 3 baby cos/romaine lettuces 
  • 2 bunches asparagus 
  • 6 radishes 
  • flesh of 2 large just-ripe avocados, cut into chunks 
  • 2 tbsp microgreens or chopped chives or spring onions/scallions 

Mustard Vinaigrette 

  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp runny honey
  • ¼ cup boutique extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and ground black pepper, to taste 

To make the Mustard Vinaigrette, combine vinegar, lemon juice, mustard and honey in a small jar and shake to break up mustard. Add oil, salt and pepper and shake to emulsify.  The dressing can be made up to a week in advance and chilled until needed. Bring back to room temperature and shake well before serving.

Separate lettuce leaves and cut the larger ones in half. Drop asparagus into a pot
of boiling salted water and cook just until the water comes back to a boil (about 2 minutes). Drain well and cool immediately in iced water to preserve colour. Drain again. Slice radishes very thinly with a mandolin or a vegetable peeler.

When ready to serve, arrange lettuce leaves on a platter and toss with a little dressing. Scatter asparagus, radishes, avocado and microgreens or chives or spring onions/scallions over the top. Drizzle with remaining dressing and serve immediately.
