Cold Asparagus Salad Recipe

feta

red onion (diced)

parsley (chopped)

lemon (juiced)

mustard

honey

garlic powder

salt & pepper

First you will need to blanch the asparagus.  To do that, bring a pot of water to boil. Prepare a second bowl with ice water.

While you are waiting on the boil, snap the woody ends off the bottom of the asparagus.

Submerge the asparagus in the boiling water.  Allow to boil for just one minute (a bit longer if your asparagus is super thick) and then pull it out of the water.  Submerge the asparagus in the ice water to stop it from cooking any further.

Cut the blanched asparagus into two-inch long pieces.

Make the dressing by whisking the lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, honey, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a bowl.

Toss the asparagus, red onion, parsley and feta in the bowl.

Serve cold and garnish with extra feta, lemon slices, and parsley.

This asparagus salad recipe is a perfect spring side dish! If you want to get ahead, you can make the Avocado Dressing up to a day in advance.

lemon juice

garlic (grated)

sea salt

black pepper

peas (thawed)

Avocado Dressing

radishes (thinly sliced)

pine nuts

Mint or basil leaves (for garnish)

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and set a bowl of ice water nearby. Drop the asparagus into the boiling water and blanch for about 1 minute, until tender but still bright green. Transfer to the ice water for 1 minute, then drain. Transfer the asparagus to a kitchen towel to dry and wipe out the bowl.

At the bottom of the bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the asparagus and peas and toss until coated. Transfer to a platter, drizzle with some of the avocado dressing, top with feta, radishes, pine nuts, and mint or basil.
