Spelt provides the body with a lot of fibre, vitamins and minerals. In combination with the green vegetables, the salad is a good source of haematopoietic iron and bone-strengthening calcium. The essential omega-3 fatty acids from walnut oil are important for an active metabolism in the body.

For an even more intense aroma, simply pour a few roasted seeds - for example pine nuts or walnuts - over the salad.

Preparation steps

1.

Cook the spelt grains in boiling salted water for 10 minutes over a high heat, then cover and allow to swell for 30-40 minutes over a low heat.

2.

In the meantime, wash the asparagus, cut off the woody ends and peel the lower third of the stalks. Cook the asparagus in boiling salted water for 5 minutes at medium heat. Clean, wash and add the snap peas at the last minute, cook them together, drain, quench and drain. Cut asparagus and sugar snap peas into bite-sized pieces.

3.

Wash the spinach and shake dry. Wash the dill, shake dry and pluck the tips. Mix orange and lemon juice with the oils, salt and pepper to a vinaigrette.

4.

Drain spelt and let it cool down for 10 minutes. Carefully mix spelt with salad ingredients and vinaigrette in a large bowl; arrange on plates or in bowls. Crumble feta and serve on top.
