Asparagus and Sorrel Salad

Sprue asparagus, the little offshoots from the asparagus plant, aren’t that exciting to eat on their own ducked into hollandaise, but they do make a great salad. Here I’ve combined them with buckler leaf or silver sorrel, which is one of my favourite little salad leaves. You can easily transform this simple side salad into a starter or lunch dish by topping it with a deep-fried duck’s egg.
