Take care not to overcook the asparagus spears – this vibrant summer salad should be fresh, zingy and have a hint of crunch in every bite. Crumble over the feta cheese and serve as a take-to-work lunch or vegetarian side dish.
Or take things up a notch with our show-stopping fattoush salad served with chargrilled sea bream.
