Ingredients

250g asparagus, trimmed and cut into 4cm lengths
150g snow peas, trimmed and halved diagonally
1 small red oak lettuce, torn ( or lettuce if choice)

1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Method
1. Boil steam or microwave asparagus and snow peas, separately until just tender; drain. Rinse under cold water; drain

2. Meanwhile, place Basil dressing ingredients in a screw top jar; shake well.
( I always use this jar for dressings, can also be made and kept in the jar in fridge)

3. Arrange lettuce on a platter; top with asparagus, snow peas and beans, drizzle with 1/4 of the dressing. Arrange tomatoes, cheese and Basil on top, drizzle with remaining dressing.

Notes
