Steps

  • Blanch the potatoes in boiling water, drain, and slice them in half.
  • Boil the green asparagus, broad beans, peas, soy beans, and spring onions for two minutes.
  • Drain the vegetables and rinse under cold water briefly to stop the cooking process.
  • Place the blanched vegetables on a tray with potatoes, drizzle with olive oil, and season.
  • Macerate the purple asparagus in a bowl with lemon juice and salt to soften.
  • Whisk mustard and vinegar together, then slowly add oils until a thick sauce forms.
  • Combine all vegetables, shallots, herbs, and greens in a bowl and coat with the dressing.
  • Divide the salad among four plates and serve immediately.
