Light, crunchy, and full of fresh greens. This salad is the perfect reset.

The Snow Pea & Asparagus Salad is refreshing, hydrating, and just what your body needs when you’re eating clean and want to feel lighter.

It’s made with lightly steamed asparagus and snow peas, crisp bean sprouts, tender spinach, and a simple drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice

It comes together in minutes and really shows that simple ingredients can still be super satisfying.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

2 cups snow peas: Snow peas are crisp, sweet, and loaded with vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. Light steaming keeps their crunch while making them easier to digest.

1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed: Asparagus is naturally alkaline and supports detoxification. It's rich in folate, fiber, and antioxidants, making it a go-to green for gut health and energy.

½ cup bean sprouts: Bean sprouts are a living food, rich in enzymes, amino acids, and minerals that support digestion and cell repair. They add a mild crunch and freshness to every bite.

1 cup spinach leaves: Spinach is a true nutrient powerhouse. It supports blood health, reduces inflammation, and adds a soft, leafy base to the salad without overpowering the other flavors.

2 tbsp pine nuts: Pine nuts offer a dose of healthy fats, magnesium, and protein. They also add a subtle buttery flavor and a satisfying crunch.

2 tbsp cold-pressed olive oil: This heart-healthy oil brings everything together, adding richness and helping your body absorb all the fat-soluble nutrients in the greens.

Juice of ½ lemon: Fresh lemon juice brings brightness, balance, and a gentle detoxifying effect. It also helps maintain an alkaline internal environment.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

✅ Step 1: Steam your greens:

Lightly steam the snow peas and asparagus for 1–2 minutes. You want them vibrant and just tender, not soft. Immediately rinse under cold water or transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking and lock in color.

✅ Step 2: Combine ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, add the steamed snow peas and asparagus along with the spinach leaves, bean sprouts, and pine nuts.

✅ Step 3: Dress the salad:

Drizzle everything with cold-pressed olive oil and squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the top.

✅ Step 4: Toss and serve:

Gently toss to combine. Serve immediately while it’s crisp and fresh,  or chill for 10–15 minutes for a refreshing, lightly cooled version.
