Dietary Notes: Vegan, Gluten-Free

Ingredients

For the Salad

• 1 bunch asparagus

• 1 cup snap peas

• 2 cups arugula

• 1 cup microgreens

• ¼ cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pistachios)

• Optional: plant-based protein of choice (e.g., tofu, tempeh, beans)

For the Green Goddess Dressing

• 4 tablespoons aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)

• 1 tablespoon white miso

• 3 roasted garlic cloves (or 1 raw garlic clove)

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

• 2 tablespoons capers

• 2 cups mixed fresh herbs (such as flat-leaf parsley, chives, tarragon, cilantro, and basil)

• 1¾ cups neutral oil (e.g., avocado, grapeseed, or canola)

• Plant-based milk, as needed for thinning

Instructions

Make the Dressing

1. In a blender or tall container for immersion blending, combine the aquafaba, white miso, garlic, Dijon mustard, vinegar, and capers.

2. Blend until frothy and thickened slightly.

3. With the blender running, slowly stream in the oil to emulsify. The dressing should thicken like a creamy aioli.

4. Add the herbs and continue blending until smooth.

5. If the dressing is too thick, blend in a splash of plant-based milk to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Prepare the Salad

Option 1: Asparagus Ribbons

1. Snap off and discard the woody ends of the asparagus.

2. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the asparagus into thin ribbons.

Option 2: Chopped Veggies

1. Slice the asparagus and snap peas on a bias (45-degree angle) for visual appeal.

2. Blanch sliced vegetables in boiling water for 1 minute. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.

Assemble

1. In a large bowl, combine the arugula, asparagus, and snap peas.

2. Add the Green Goddess dressing and toss gently to coat.

3. Top with microgreens and chopped nuts.

4. Add optional protein if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
