Charred Asparagus & Cannellini Bean Salad

• Grill the asparagus for 6–8 minutes until lightly charred.

• Add the grilled asparagus.
• Sprinkle over the chives.
• Dress with olive oil, lemon juice and black pepper.

Why it’s good

This makes a satisfying summer lunch while supporting healthy circulation. Asparagus contains natural nitrates and antioxidants, while radishes belong to the same family as rocket and watercress and also contribute nitrate-rich compounds. Cannellini beans provide plant protein and fibre for steady energy.
