- Chop the asparagus into bite size pieces. Add asparagus, a bit of olive oil and sea salt to the frying pan and fry them for a couple of minutes.You could add the broccoli to fry with asparagus, or keep broccoli raw. Set aside in a bowl and wipe the frying pan with kitchen paper or dry cloth. .
- Place the buckwheat and pecan nuts (or almonds) in the dry frying pan and roast them for a few minutes. Keep moving ingredients so they don’t burn. You’ll smell it when they’re done. Set aside to cool.
- Tear the lettuce, watercress, kale into pieces. Finely chop the rest of the salad ingredients. Mix them together and place onto a bowl or plate.
- To prepare the dressing add all the ingredients into your blender and blend into a smooth paste. Taste if you need to add more salt or lemon juice.
- Scoop the dressing on top of your salad.
- Add the asparagus and broccoli on top of the salad.
- Add the buckwheat and pecans on top of your salad.
- Drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil on top if you like and enjoy!

- Easy to take away, keep the sauce in a separate jar.
- Add raw sprouted bread from your organic market if you need the extra energy.
