Asparagus Spring Salad with Rocket, Goat's Cheese and Pomegranate

Nothing beats asparagus in spring. It's crisp, fresh and when grilled on a high heat, as it is in this recipe, it offers a lovely char-grilled flavour that soaks up the beautiful dressing.

Asparagus works wonderfully with crunchy rocket, as it gives it a peppery taste. By adding pomegranate seeds, each mouthful gets a burst of sweet goodness and the goat's cheese adds yet another dimension that makes this into a spectacular dish.

Petite Kitchen's Eleanor Ozich shared this spring salad dish:

Method
