Asparagus, Snap Pea & Quinoa Salad
This is a salad I will be making on repeat this summer. It is crunchy, fresh, and packed with veg. The pistachios give a lovely crunch, and the quinoa soaks up all the dressing so you get a pop of flavour with every bite. This is great for a main or a side dish.
Ingredients:
100g green asparagus
1 tsp butter
340g sugar snap peas
50g feta, crumbled
1 cup cooked quinoa
3 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons rosé strawberry vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
Salt & pepper to taste
1 handful of pistachios, chopped
Method:
Cut your asparagus into bite-sized pieces. Sauteé the asparagus in a pan with the butter until tender (about 5-10 minutes).
Cut your snap peas at a diagonal to get little slivers. Add to a large salad bowl along with the rest of the ingredients (besides the pistachios). Season to taste, then toss well.
Top with the chopped pistachios and enjoy hot or cold.
