Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tbsp natural yogurt
1 tsp wholegrain mustard
½ tsp honey
½ lemon , zested and juiced
100g watercress
1 large slice sourdough bread
200g asparagus , tough ends removed
1 ½ tbsp cold-pressed rapeseed oil
2 eggs
200g frozen peas

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix the yogurt, mustard and honey together. Add the lemon zest, then add the juice and some seasoning to taste. Squeeze any remaining lemon juice over the watercress.
  • Tear the bread into rough chunks and put them on a large roasting tray with the asparagus. Toss both in the rapeseed oil and seasoning, and roast for 10 mins until the asparagus is tender and croutons are golden.
  • Meanwhile, cook the eggs in a pan of boiling water for 6 mins, then add the frozen peas and cook for 1 min more. Drain and rinse both under cold water until cool. Peel the eggs, then cut into quarters.
  • To assemble, mix the asparagus and peas through the watercress, then toss through the creamy dressing. Nestle in the eggs and croutons, and serve.
