Blanch asparagus and sugar snap peas (or snow peas) by plunging in boiling water for 30 seconds and immediately transferring to cold water to retain colour.

Cut flesh from tomato and dice finely.

Make dressing by mixing lime (or lemon juice), sesame oil and chilli sauce.

Toss all ingredients together and serve.

*Sprinkle with salt. Allow to stand for at least 30 minutes. Wash and drain.

Dry on paper towel.
