Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I was out of pepitas so used sesame seeds and slivered almonds with the sunflower seed brittle, which adds great contrast when broken up and distributed throughout the salad. I also massaged the kale for much longer than one minute but otherwise stuck to the recipe. It’s pleasant but the asparagus gets lost in the other flavors and I wouldn’t go out of my way to make it again.

    This was excellent - I never would have thought to make this combination but it all works. The sunflower and pumpkin seed topping is a wonderful add and next time I will double it. Very yummy

    It would not have occurred to me to construct this dish with kale, asparagus and edamame but it works. As always, YO makes the extra effort to finish the dish nicely, in this case with candied pepitas.

    We found this recipe to be lacking something. More maple syrup would have helped, in fact, more dressing in general. And maybe some dried cranberries or something. We were disappointed in this one.

    Excellent. Of the three Ottolenghi dishes we made for a dinner with guests, this was hands down the favorite. The lightly sweet crunchy seeds with the tangy mustardy greens was addictive, and the asparagus and peas (which I used instead of the edamame) were delightful in there as well. I was only able to use about a quarter of the amount of tarragon; the full amount would be that much better. I used less oil - maybe around half the amount. I made a double recipe, which was a LOT - next time would do 1.5 recipe for six adults. And for a single recipe, more than one bunch of kale and one bunch of asparagus would be needed. Looking forward to making this again.

    Used baby kale and broadbeans, really tasty dish
