This salad is a perfect mix of textures: crunchy and peppery radish, tender beef, roll-in-your-mouth lentils and soft caramelised beetroot. Yum!

  5. Cook the asparagus in a small saucepan of boiling salted water for 2 minutes or until just tender. Drain. Cool in iced water.
  6. Divide the asparagus, beetroot, watercress, lentils and radish among serving plates. thinly slice the beef and arrange over salad. serve the salad drizzled with horseradish dressing.
