Ingredients

  • 2 pounds large asparagus
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 bunch radishes thinly sliced
  • 1 ½ cups cooked peas
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts sliced in half

Instructions

  • Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and discard. Using a vegetable peeler, thinly shave the asparagus into wide ribbons.
  • Heat a bit of olive in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus ribbons and saute for 30 seconds to one minute.
  • Combine the greens, radishes, and cooked peas in a salad bowl. Gently toss with asparagus ribbons and top with goat cheese and toasted hazelnuts.
  • Serve with your favorite dressing. I love a simple lemon vinaigrette with this salad.

Notes

  1. Cheese: To make this salad vegan, just leave out the goat cheese. You'll want to add back in a creamy element, so serve the salad with some of your favorite plant-based yogurt lightened with a little fresh lemon juice.
