Ingredients
- 1 red pepper
- 3 asparagus tips
- ½ small courgette, sliced
- Handful of rocket
- Handful of watercress
- 2 small spring onions
- 2 fresh red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
- Good handful of mixed fresh herbs (coriander, basil, mint, flat-leaf parsley), torn roughly into pieces
The Dressing
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 5 tbsp olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Blacken the pepper by placing it under the grill, turning until all sides are black.
- Wrap in clingfilm or put in a sandwich or freezer bag for 5 minutes until cool. This method steams the skin of the pepper, making peeling and deseeding easier. Remove the skin and seeds and chop it up.
- In a very hot, ridged pan, lightly char the asparagus and courgette on both sides.
- Throw everything except the asparagus into a bowl and mix well.
- Place the asparagus on top.
- Make the dressing by putting the lemon juice and olive oil into a screw-top jar and shake really well.
- Pour over the salad and season with black pepper.
