Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Bright Spring Salad
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the chopped asparagus and blanch for about 1 minute. Transfer to ice water.
- In a food processor, combine basil leaves, garlic, lemon juice and zest, white wine vinegar, and olive oil. Pulse until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine blanched asparagus and thawed peas. Drizzle half of the dressing over and toss gently. Season with salt and pepper.
- On a serving platter, create a bed of salad greens. Layer the asparagus and pea mixture on top, followed by radishes, feta, avocado, pistachios, and chickpeas.
- Drizzle remaining dressing over the salad. Season with more salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
