*Use our Official Blood Type Diet App or TypeBase V Food Values Lookup to see whether dairy, almond, soy or rice yogurt will be best for you.

Instructions:

1. To prepare the chopped salad, mix the sliced gem lettuce, asparagus, red onion, chives and lemon zest in a bowl with the olive oil and salt. Reserve.
2. To prepare the dressing, pulse 2 eggs, yogurt and spices in a food processor until smooth and creamy. For a looser consistency add a little olive oil or more yogurt, and pulse to combine. Keep refrigerated.
3. To plate the salad, spoon the chopped vegetable mixture into lettuce “cups” and top with the creamy turmeric dressing, asparagus tips and 1 chopped egg.

Tips:

1. Food prep: double up and prepare a large batch of the turmeric dressing, and keep refrigerated in a mason jar or airtight container for up to a week.
2. Picnic packing: This salad is very practical at picnics as the salad boats are practical to eat. To transport, assemble them and lay flat in a single layer and keep in an insulated container to keep cool.
