Asparagus, Bean and Pine Nut Salad

• 
  
• Ingredients:
• 2 tablespoons pine nuts
• 125g green beans, trimmed
• 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
• 1/4 cup French dressing

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Place pine nuts on a baking tray. Bake for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden.
2. Cook beans and asparagus in a saucepan of boiling water for 2 minutes or until just tender. Drain. Refresh under cold water.
3. Place pine nuts, beans and asparagus in a large bowl. Add dressing. Toss to combine. Serve.

Variation: 

You could use flaked almonds instead of pine nuts. Serve with grilled chicken, trout or tuna.  I used apple cider vinegar instead of dressing as it is a more natural alternative.
