GREENS WITH HERBY LEMON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Boil water in a large pan with a steamer attachment and fill a large bowl with ice-cold water. Steam the green beans for 3-4 mins, the courgettes for 2-3 mins, and the peas for 2 mins, until everything is just tender. (If you don't have a steamer, just boil the vegetables in boiling salted water for the same times as above.) After cooking, immediately plunge vegetables into the ice-cold water to cool quickly, drain, then pat dry with kitchen paper.
• For the dressing, whisk together the oil and lemon juice, stir in the parsley, mint and chives, then season. Take the dressing and vegetables to the picnic in separate containers, then toss gently together to serve.

SIMPLE GREEN SALAD WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• First prepare dressing by adding all ingredients to a mixing bowl (or small blender) and whisking (or blending) to fully combine. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more maple syrup for sweetness, lemon for acidity, or salt or pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Prepare salad by adding greens to a serving bowl or platter and topping with baby tomatoes, shallot or onion, carrots, pomegranate arils or dried fruit (optional), a pinch of salt and pepper, and toasted pepitas or sunflower seeds.
• Add dressing to the salad and toss to coat, or serve on the side. Best when fresh. Store salad separate from dressing if keeping for later use. Will keep in the refrigerator up to 2-3 days. Store dressing in the refrigerator 3-4 days. The oil can harden when cold, so let set out for a few minutes to warm and shake well to reincorporate before serving leftovers.
