Ingredients:
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 1 cucumber
- 500g prawns
- 60ml olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh dill leaves
- 40ml lemon juice
- 1 tbsp coarse grain mustard
Instructions:
-
Prepare Asparagus: Begin by cooking the asparagus in a small pan of boiling salted water for 1-2 minutes or until they turn bright green and are just tender. Once cooked, drain the asparagus and immediately refresh them under cold running water to halt the cooking process. Drain well and transfer them to a large bowl.
-
Prepare Cucumber Ribbons: Using a peeler, run it down the length of the cucumber to form long, elegant ribbons. Add these cucumber ribbons to the bowl with the asparagus.
-
Cook Prawns: If the prawns aren’t already cooked, you can quickly cook them in a pan until they turn pink and opaque. Once cooked, allow them to cool slightly before adding them to the salad.
-
Make Dill Dressing: In a small screw-top jar, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, fresh dill leaves, and coarse grain mustard. Shake vigorously until well combined.
-
Assemble Salad: Add the cooked prawns to the bowl with the asparagus and cucumber. Pour the prepared dill dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated with the dressing.
-
Serve: Transfer the salad to serving plates or bowls and serve immediately to enjoy the vibrant flavors at their peak.
