We would enjoy this salad with pan-fried chicken tenderloins and Oamaru Jersey Benne new potatoes – drizzled with extra herb dressing!
Green Salad with Creamy Mint Dressing
Ingredients

Instructions
-
For the salad, layer freshly blanched veg with the salad greens and dressing. Toss gently and add the crumbled feta.
Top with toasted almonds, pea tendrils and radish sprouts if you have any.
-
For the dressing, blend altogether until smooth and creamy.
You can make the scrummy herb dressing up to four days in advance. This dressing is really good with baby new potatoes as well.
Note
You can blanche, drain and chill the beans or asparagus and peas up to 2 days ahead.
Combine all the elements shortly before serving, to keep the freshness and crunch of the greens. We were hoping to use asparagus on this dish but they weren’t in season so we used fresh baby beans instead which are equally as delicious in this recipe. Delicate pea tendrils, pea shoots and peppery radish sprouts would be spectacular as a garnish on this dish when in season.

Very yum, amazing dressing – defo double it. I cut back on the quantity of asparagus & there was still plenty. This one will be on repeat!
Absolutely delicious, and handy to be able to prepare parts ahead if needed. It’s the kind of salad that you can be flexible with the ingredients and it still works. Definitely on repeat!
Such an easy salad, you can fully prepare it ahead and just throw it together at the end
Great salad for a summer or spring break. The dressing is very flavorful. I didnt use kale as the asparagus was plenty of texture, used a combo of baby rocket and other spring greens. Great side for lamb.
Very yum easy salad and most of the prep can be done a day ahead if needed.
Beautiful, tasty salad, instead of asparagus I blanched and then charred broccolini which was also yum! Dressing is delicious!
This was delicious everyone enjoyed will make again
Very nice! I thought the recipe dressing quantity worked fine. Didn’t use quite as much veg as it said, maybe used more salad leaves instead, 150g bag.
This salad is amazing. I also doubled the dressing for break size. Delicious!
This is a nice easy salad! The dressing is definitely the star… it’s delicious.
Served with Lamb, was very tasty and went over well. I would double the dressing next time!
Great salad to serve with Lamb. The dressing is so good, agree with other review to make double qty. So many uses.
Recommend making at least double the dressing, it’s so good.
