Indulge in a Middle Eastern delight with grilled asparagus salad, topped with rocket, dukkah, and creamy labneh.
Ingredients:
  • 750.00 ml Greek yoghurt
  • 15.90 gm fresh lemon juice
  • 2.40 gm fine sea salt
  • 65.63 gm fresh lemon juice
  • 113.75 gm olive oil
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 3 bunches asparagus, woody ends trimmed
  • 140g rocket leaves
  • 250.00 ml fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
  • 1 small white onion, thinly sliced into rings
  • 125.00 ml dukkah (see note)
Instructions:
  • For the labneh: Prepare a fine-meshed sieve lined with a double layer of muslin. Mix the yoghurt, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl. Transfer the yoghurt mixture into the sieve covered with more muslin. Position the sieve over a bowl to collect any drippings. Use a small plate and a large can to press out excess liquid from the yoghurt. Chill in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Whisk together lemon juice and 1/2 cup of oil in a medium bowl until blended. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside the dressing.
  • Preheat the barbecue until it's nice and hot. Toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon of oil in a large bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus, turning occasionally, for around 3 minutes until it's slightly charred but still has a nice crunch. Put them back in the bowl and mix with 2 tablespoons of dressing.
  • Spread a generous spoonful of labneh on 8 starter plates. In a bowl, mix rocket, mint, onion, and 1/4 cup of dressing. Season with salt. Place rocket salad on labneh, top with asparagus, drizzle with extra dressing if desired. Sprinkle dukkah over the salad before serving.
