Ingredients
- 450 grams asparagus
- 200 grams frozen green peas
- 6 medium radishes
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the asparagus by trimming off the tough ends. Cut the stalks into 2-inch pieces.
Step 2
Thinly slice the radishes and set them aside.
Step 3
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 4
In the last minute of the asparagus cooking time, add the frozen peas to the boiling water. Drain both the asparagus and peas and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again after a few minutes and set aside.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 6
In a large serving bowl, combine the blanched asparagus, peas, sliced radishes, parsley, and dill.
Step 7
Drizzle the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
Step 8
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
