230g asparagus, ends trimmed, spears cut into 7.5cm pieces
225g frozen petits pois
250g sugar snap peas, halved diagonally
¼g mint, leaves only (smaller leaves are best)
50g lamb’s lettuce

For the dressing

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 unwaxed lemon, finely grated zest, plus 2 tbsp juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp clear honey
2 tbsp chives, finely chopped

Steam the asparagus and petits pois for 3-5 minutes, then transfer to iced water to stop cooking and preserve their colour. Drain well and pat dry.
Make the dressing in a jar by adding all the ingredients, then seal and shake hard until well combined.
Add the steamed asparagus, petits pois and raw sugar snaps to a serving bowl. Drizzle with ½ the dressing. At this point you can pause for up to 30 minutes.
Add the mint and season. Toss to combine, add the lamb’s lettuce, toss again and serve immediately, with extra dressing on the side.
