Light Asparagus Salad
Asparagus is a tad luxurious to me and Jersey Royals aren’t far behind, so this is an ideal treat for Lockdown. Both came from a local wholesale greengrocer who’s adapted to the loss of his hotel and restaurant business by offering home deliveries for the housebound.
This slightly luxurious lunch can be complemented with a glass of dry white wine or Prosecco/Sekt. But water also goes well!
