Sometimes the best meals are the least complicated. For this elegant, unfussy recipe the asparagus should be fairly thin – no more than 1 cm in diameter. This is good both warm and at room temperature. If you aren't keen on the lime and salt combination, another good dressing is vinaigrette. This could could be turned into a light lunch with hard-boiled eggs and garlic-rubbed bruschetta.

Ingredients

4 fat spring onions or very thin baby leeks, trimmed
4 asparagus spears, trimmed
olive or sunflower oil
wedges of lime
coarse sea salt

Method

Prep time: 5 min
