Spring Butter Bean Salad
by Bold Bean Co
The power of using a handful of quality jarred ingredients. This salad is fresh, zesty and is EXACTLY what you want for lunch today. If asparagus is hard to come by, try it with tenderstem broccoli or green beans. It's also completely plant-based too! But if you did want a little more oomph, this also works well served with soft boiled eggs.
Method
Based on 3 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Heat a griddle pan over a medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and toss with 1/4 of the olive oil and a good pinch of salt. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until nice and charred.
Step 2
Meanwhile, add the remaining olive oil, the lemon zest and juice, honey and garlic to a small mixing bowl and mix to combine.
Step 3
Add the butter beans, olives, artichokes, parsley and dill to a large mixing bowl. Once the asparagus is done, add this too.
Step 4
Pour the vinaigrette over the bowl and toss to combine. Adjust seasoning, if needed needed. Serve straight from the bowl or onto a serving platter. This also works well served with soft boiled eggs!
