This all green salad with citrus vinaigrette is a celebration of fresh, vibrant produce and clean flavours. Combining the crunch of blanched asparagus and English cucumber with the creamy richness of ripe avocado, it offers a wonderful contrast of textures. The addition of fragrant basil and dill provides a sophisticated herbal note that elevates the dish from a simple side to a standout seasonal starter.
As a nutritious vegan dish, this recipe is incredibly versatile and works perfectly for a light lunch or as a refreshing accompaniment to grilled proteins. The zesty dressing, made with fresh lemon and orange juice, adds a bright acidity that perfectly balances the earthy greens. It is best assembled just before serving to ensure the romaine leaves stay crisp and the avocado remain perfectly green.

How to make All Green Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette
Whisk shallot, vinegar, lemon zest, lemon juice, orange juice, and honey in a medium bowl until combined. Add oil in a steady stream, whisking constantly, until combined. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; prepare a large bowl of ice water and a rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels. Add asparagus to the boiling water and cook until crisp tender, 1-2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider and immediately plunge into the ice water until chilled, then use slotted spoon to transfer asparagus to baking sheet to drain.
In a large bowl, combine cos, cucumber, avocado, basil, dill, and blanched asparagus. Drizzle with desired amount of dressing, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently to combine. Serve salad with remaining dressing on the side.
