Indulgent blue cheese salad with asparagus, walnuts, and witlof. Ideal for lunch or a delightful starter.
Ingredients:
  • 100g (1 cup) walnut halves
  • 4.60 gm olive oil
  • 2 bunches asparagus, woody ends trimmed, diagonally cut into 5cm lengths
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) avocado oil
  • 40.00 ml white wine vinegar
  • 23.40 gm wholegrain mustard
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:
  • Toast walnuts in a medium frying pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the asparagus and cook for 3 minutes until vibrant green and tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool for 5 minutes before proceeding.
