Instructions
For the salad, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the peas, sugar snap peas and broccoli, 2 – 3 minutes. Drain and refresh in ice-cold water.
For the dressing, place all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together until well combined. Season with salt.
To assemble the salad, place the blanched vegetables and baby spinach on a large platter and scatter over the bocconcini and toasted almonds. Drizzle over the salad dressing just before serving, or serve on the side, and sprinkle with freshly ground mixed pepper, to taste.
