Ingredients
- 2 shallots sliced
- 1 garlic cloves sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 250g/8.8oz asparagus
- 2 handfuls defrosted frozen peas
- 1 celery stick sliced
- 2 spring onions sliced
- 1 tsp dried tarragon

Method
Step 1
Gently cook the shallots and garlic together in 1 tbsp olive oil until soft, then spoon into a bowl and leave on one side to cool.
Step 2
Trim the asparagus but keep the trimmings. Put the trimmings and the tips into the garlicky frying pan and fry gently for 5 minutes until cooked.
Step 3
Combine the peas, celery, spring onions, cooked shallots, garlic and asparagus on a serving dish.
Sprinkle over the fresh and dried herbs then crumble the feta over the top. Season with black pepper.
Step 4
To make the dressing, mix the lemon juice, honey and mustard together then slowly add the olive oil, whisking as you go.
Season to taste then pour over your salad.
Step 5
To serve: Toast some ciabatta (or any bread of your choice) and top each slice with a drizzle of honey. Serve alongside the salad.
