Asparagus, pea shoots & borage with elderflower dressing

Raw asparagus is a strangely under-indulged pleasure. Do give it a go. The flavour is less sweet than when cooked for sure, though it’s made up for in nuttiness - there’s a hint of fresh hazelnuts or peanuts about it. Elderflower and asparagus is one of those peculiar pairings that is rarely made but that makes perfect sense the instant you think of it. A fine starter or light lunch for a bright spring day.
