- I try and use as few pots as possible 😁. So have one pot with some generously salted water and bring to the boil. Put the asparagus in a steamer on top of the pan. It will take 5-10 mins to become tender depending on its thickness. ng the new veg to the water. )
- So after about 3-5 mins, add the sugar snaps to the boiling water. Then after another 2 mins, add the peas. (Putting the steamer back on in between adding the sugarsnaps and peas.) After maximum 1 min for the peas, drain the sugarsnaps and peas.
- Put them in a bowl of cold water. Put the asparagus in there too. This means they keep their colour and crunch. Cut the asparagus into smaller pieces - i do this with scissors… just lift each spear out of the water, cut into 3-4 pieces and put them back in the water.
- For the dressing: mix it all together. Taste and tweak the balance according to your taste.
- To serve, stir the dressing through the greens. Sprinkle generously with pumpkin seeds. If you have a spring onion, chop that on top too. I add some more lemon zest 🍋 and mint leaves too. Enjoy 😋
