80--- Avocado Green Goddess Spring Salad

Most of the country is in full blown spring mode.

Here in Montana things are a bit delayed.

But I'm trying to swing the vibes in our favor.

This salad helped.

Avocado Green Goddess Spring Salad
Serves 6

2 cups baby arugula
4 cups green peas (frozen work great)
2 cups chopped fresh asparagus (look for thinner stalks)
5 whole green onions, chopped

DRESSING
1/2 avocado
3/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1 small bunch flat leaf parsley
2 Tbsp buttermilk
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup fresh chives
1 Tbsp fresh mint leaves
Zest from one lemon
Juice from two lemons
1/2 tsp salt
Dash ground black pepper

Combine all dressing ingredients in a food processor and puree until smooth.

If using frozen peas, defrost in a strainer under cold water.  Transfer to a bowl and toss with remaining ingredients.  Add dressing and use a spatula to gently combine.  Cover and refrigerate for one hour, or until ready to serve.
