Ingredients

  • 6 whole strawberries tops picked

  • 3 tbsp citrus dressing Click on the link to go to the recipe
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Clean the sugar snaps by cutting slightly at the top with a pairing knife and pulling to remove the stringy part of the vegetable. Do this on both sides and if it doesn't come off easily don't worry about it.

  • Click off the leaves of the gem lettuce and cut into quarters. Soak in ice water for at least 5 minutes.
  • Get a large pot of water boiling and salt it heavily. It should taste as salty as the sea. Get another ice bath ready. Blanch the vegetables for 1 minute.
  • Refresh in ice water and stir to cool them quickly.
