Ingredients
- 12 Jersey Royal potatoes
- 10 green asparagus spears, sliced on an angle
- 150g/5½oz young broad beans, podded
- 150g/5½oz peas, podded
- 150g/5½oz fresh or frozen soy beans
- 3 spring onions, sliced on an angle
- drizzle of olive oil
- 4 purple asparagus spears, sliced using a peeler
- 1 lemon, juice only
- 2 shallots, cut into rings
- 15 mintleaves (shredded)

For the dressing
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

- 1 tsp walnut oil

Method

- Place all on a tray with the potatoes, season and drizzle the olive oil.
- Prepare the purple asparagus in a bowl by adding lemon juice and salt to cure and soften.
