Ingredients

  • 4 cups mixed spring greens
  • 100g goat cheese, crumbled

  • 1/4 cup toasted nuts or seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and prepare the spring greens, asparagus, and radishes.
  2. Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to cold water to keep it tender-crisp.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice or balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  5. Arrange the spring greens on a large serving platter or bowl.

  7. Drizzle the dressing over the salad.

Notes

  • Add avocado slices for extra creaminess.
  • Use feta or blue cheese instead of goat cheese for variation.
  • Enhance sweetness with extra berries or a drizzle of honey.
  • Fresh herbs like mint or basil add a bright flavor.
  • Keep dressing separate until serving to maintain freshness.
