Spring Pea Potager Salad

– 1 bunch thick asparagus, woody ends removed
– 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cups fresh shucked peas, blanched
– 1 handful pea shoots
– Juice of 1/2 lime
– 2 tablespoons finishing olive oil
– Sea salt and cracked pepper
– 1/4 cup crumbled pecorino cheese
– 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, torn

Drizzle the olive oil on the asparagus spears and shiitake mushrooms. Set your grill or grill pan to high. Once it’s screaming hot, sear the veggies quickly, moving them around the grill about 2-3 minutes total. You want the asparagus to blister but still maintain a crunch and the shiitakes to toast nicely with grill marks on the outside. Remove to a sheet pan to cool and season with kosher salt. Once you can handle the asparagus, slice the tips off (about 2 inches) and slice them in half down the middle lengthwise. The remaining stalk should be sliced in coins. Next slice shiitake mushrooms in strips.

In the prettiest bowl you can find combine the asparagus, shitakes, pea shoots, and peas. Squeeze lime juice over the top and drizzle with top shelf olive oil. Season with salt and cracked pepper and toss ingredients gently. Splay the pecorino and fresh mint leaves over the top and top with a drizzle of olive oil. Serve.

“This salad is like is like spring in a bowl. It’s very lightly dressed on purpose so you can taste all of the beautiful flavors that come together so naturally. The earthiness of the mushrooms, sweetness of the peas, and the cleanness of the asparagus all work together to taste like Spring; fresh and lovely.” – Valerie

Reminiscing back to the summer of 2018 when @joyproctor and I traveled with an inspiring group of women to France for the Champagne & Castles  #heartsafluttertour. In the Loire Valley, we had the opportunity to meet up with @fleuropean for a flowering design session at our castle (yes, we stayed in a castle!). What a treat to be able to learn and be inspired by Emily's dreamy floral aesthetic.

Back home here in Los Angeles, California, I'm over-the-moon to be able to share a bit of the @fleuropean magic with you through @the_floral_pantry’s February Floristry Kit. Complete with absolutely everything you need to design at home (flowers, tools, vessels, tutorials), your heart will surely flutter from this dream floral design experience. 🌿

Pre-order is now available on The Floral Pantry website. Kits ship just in time for Valentine's Day! 💕
