Green Salad with Asparagus & Peas (Salat med Asparges og Arter)
Here’s a salad where we’ve combined two stars of the spring garden, asparagus and peas. Since the asparagus goes into the mix raw, you’ll want to look for the freshest, most tender spears you can find and slice them into very thin rounds.
