Shamrock Salad

 

Shamrock Salad 

This veggie salad is called Shamrock Salad due to everything in it is green. Although the recipe doesn’t call for green peppers I usually throw them in to this salad because I love green peppers. They also add a little more flavor to

Ingredients: the salad.

1 bunch thin asparagus spear

1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed

1 cup shelled fresh peas

¾ cup of Arugula

¾ cup of Baby Spinach

2 stick celery, sliced

DRESSING INGREDIENTS:

1 garlic clove

1 tbs extra virgin olive oil

3/4 tablespoon white vinegar

¾ tablespoon grainy mustard

Directions:

Remove woody ends from asparagus and cut into equal lengths.

Cook the peas and asparagus in boiling salt water for around 4 minutes or until just tender but still crisp. Do not overcook them and when removed from water refresh them in a bowl of iced cold water. Drain, pat dry, and place into a bowl with Arugula, spinach and celery.

Combine the dressing ingredients, add salt and pepper to taste, and mix well through. Pour over salad, and toss.
