Method
4 stepsStep 1
Start by blitzing all the dressing ingredients together. Season then set aside.
Step 2
Put the frozen peas in a bowl and cover with boiling water for 2 mins. Drain and refresh under cold water. If using fresh peas, these are lovely and sweet raw.
Step 3
Next, heat a non-stick griddle pan to a high heat. On a plate, drizzle 1 tbsp oil over the asparagus and season, tossing to coat each stalk. Place them on to the griddle pan for 2 mins, moving around to cook all sides.
Step 4
Arrange the asparagus, peas, mozzarella, parma ham and remaining mint leaves on to plates and then spoon the dressing over the top to serve.
