Spring Salad Mix Ingredient Notes
Walnuts: Walnuts provide healthy fats, fibre, vitamins and minerals — not to mention they bring the perfect crunch (and nutrition) they bring to this spring mix salad. Asparagus: Roasted, grilled for this recipe, boil – I love asparagus. It’s one of my favourite nutrient-packed and green veggies – great for gut health and packed with antioxidants, which is why you will love it in this spring mix salad recipe.
How To Make This Spring Mix Salad
- Quickly pickle the onion by adding thinly sliced red onion to a bowl with 1/4 cup red wine vinegar and 2 tsp salt. Mix and set aside. 2. Prep and measure out the broccolini and asparagus. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and prepare an ice bath (cold water with ice cubes in a large bowl).
- Once the water is boiling, add the broccolini and asparagus and cook for 3 minutes and then remove to the ice bath to cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, remove to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and pat dry.
- Toss all of the ingredients with the dressing and enjoy. This salad is delicious as a side served with your favourite baked or barbecued protein! If goat cheese isn’t your favourite, not to worry – try crumbled feta cheese instead. What happens if you can’t find broccolini? You can use regular broccoli instead! This spring mix salad is best enjoyed the day it’s made.
