Ingredients

  • 0.5 head of romaine lettuce
  • Salt
  • sugar
  • 0.5 untreated lemon
  • 500 g white asparagus
  • 200 g canned kidney beans
  • 200 g canned corn
  • 350 g canned tuna in its own juice
  • 3 spring onions
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp chives
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • black pepper (from the mill)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Separate and wash the salad leaves, dry them, and line the bowl edges with them.

  2. 2.

    In a pot bring plenty of salted water to a boil with a pinch of salt and half a lemon. Peel the asparagus, cut off the woody ends, and simmer the spears in the just-boiling water for 15-20 minutes. Rinse the beans and corn under a sieve, drain well. Drain the tuna and flake it into pieces with a fork. Rinse the spring onions, shake dry, and slice into thin rings.

  3. 3.

    For the dressing whisk together vinegar, chili sauce, and chives; fold in the oil and season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4.

    Remove the asparagus from the broth, rinse briefly, cut into 4-5 cm pieces, and mix with beans, corn, and spring onions. Distribute onto the prepared bowls, drizzle with dressing, and serve immediately.
