Gut-loving, Spring Asparagus Salad with peas and broad beans, tossed in a maple Dijon dressing – don't you feel healthier just looking at it?!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

This is a simple yet stunning, healthy and delicious salad you can whip up in 25 minutes. I love the different textures, the colours – the green with the pop of red from the radish – and streaks of orange if you’re lucky enough to find salad greens with nasturtium or calendula leaves (or simply have them in your garden ready to pick!).<\/p>\n

To make this a complete meal – pile half a plate full of vibrant asparagus salad, and serve with quinoa,<\/a> brown or wild rice (B vitamins + fibre), cooked and cooled potatoes (a form of resistant starch for the gut microbes), and if you’re fancy – a tablespoon of kraut<\/a>, a blob of herby pesto<\/a>, or a drizzle of cashew aioli<\/a> over the potatoes if you have it on hand.<\/p>\n
