A Healthy Green Salad

This gorgeous salad combines cherry tomatoes, fresh peas, fresh asparagus and lettuce.

I love this Healthy Salad. With chives and lemon juice, it's so delicious. 

The magazine Eating Well inspired me for this great recipe.

Make 8 servings

Ingredients :

• 2 teaspoons fresly grated lemon zest
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 10 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 heads lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
• 2 cups very thinly sliced fresh asparagus (about 1 bunch)
• 2 cups shelled fresh peas (about 3 pounds unshelled)
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons minced chives or scallion greens

Directions : 

Bring a pot of lightly-salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus to the water and cook 3 to 5 minutes until just tender, but still mostly firm. Remove and rinse under cold water to stop from cooking any further.

Then bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add peas; cook 1 minute. Drain and plunge peas into ice water; drain.

Combine lemon zest and juice, oil, sugar, salt and pepper in a large salad bowl. Add lettuce, asparagus, peas, tomatoes and chives (or scallions greens); toss to coat.

Enjoy :)
