  • 1 avocado removed from skin and chopped
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 6 oz. dairy free yogurt
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • 1. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and discard. Chop on the bias into small pieces.
  • 2. Cut the stems off the broccolini and slice into small rounds. Keep the florets whole. Put in a bowl with the asparagus and set aside.

  • 4. Slice the celery, green onions, and radishes very thin using a knife or Japanese mandoline.
  • 5. Place the potatoes in a medium sized pot. Cover with water and add salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until just cooked through. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your potatoes. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • 6. Add the broccolini and asparagus to the pot and cook until tender. Approximately 5 minutes. Drain and run under cold running water to stop the cooking. Place in the bowl with the rest of the raw ingredients.
  • 7. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice into 1/2” rounds. Add to the bowl.
  • 8. Add the yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss to combine.
  • 9. Add the avocado and fennel tops to the bowl. Gently fold the ingredients until well combined. Check the seasoning. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold.
