Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 cup asparagus in thin diagonal slices
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas in thin diagonal slices
  • 1/2 cup (80 g) red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons (10 g) fresh mint chopped
  • 2 tablespoons (8 g) fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced asparagus, red onion, and sugar snap peas. Add the chopped mint and parsley.
  • In a small resealable container, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Shake vigorously to combine. Pour over the salad and toss to coat.

Notes

    • Keep the pieces of vegetable uniform sizes, sliced thinly, so it's easy to eat and stays on the sandwich or burger you're putting it on.
    • We've used mint and parsley in this salad, but you can add any fresh herbs you like to add flavor. Try dill, lemon thyme, or tarragon.
    • If you find raw red onion too potent, I recommend soaking it in water or water/sugar/vinegar for 20 minutes to tame it.
