Ingredients

Serves 2 portions

For the Dressing

2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 ½ Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp ginger, grated
½ tsp garlic, grated
1 Tbsp roasted sesame oil
1½ tsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
1 tsp black sesame seeds
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the Asparagus

1-2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, just enough to coat asparagus
Sea salt, to taste

For the Salad

20g pea shoots
1 handful of parsley leaves or mixed herbs
100g mixed cherry red and golden tomatoes, halved
½ conference pears, peeled and sliced thinly into ½ cm pieces
2 Tbsp almond flakes, toasted

Place the asparagus on the hot griddle pan in a single layer. Cook 2-3 minutes, turning the spears as necessary. Cook until slightly charred and tender.

Divide the salad between two places and top with tomatoes, pears, almond flakes, edamame beans, asparagus, and prosciutto ham. Scatter over parmesan and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle more dressing on top, if you like, and serve immediately.
