Asparagus, Broad Bean & Lemon Salad

"A pared-back salad that lets two seasonal heroes, asparagus and broad beans, do the talking. Asparagus is abundant in folate, antioxidants and prebiotic fibre, supporting everything from cell repair to a healthy microbiome. Broad beans are a good source of plant-based protein and fibre to promote satiety and steady energy levels. The lemon juice not only lends a bright, summery flavour but also improves nutrient absorption, while olive oil rounds the dish out with anti-inflammatory and heart-healthy compounds," says nutritional therapist Alexa Mullane.
