raw asparagus salad

Crunchy and fresh, this Fennel Asparagus Salad pairs well with grilled fish, chicken or tofu.  Also delicious on a bed of spring greens with cucumber and radishes.  A vegan salad that can be made ahead and holds well in refrigerator for several days.

Fennel Asparagus Salad 

leek

olive oil

fennel bulb (yielding about 2 cups)

lemon thyme (or substitute regular thyme)

Lemon juice

Sea Salt

½ teaspoon ground Black Pepper

Coriander

almonds,

avocado,

Thinly slice the tender white part of the leek in half circles.  Add 3 tablespoons of the olive oil to a cold sauté pan.  Turn burner on to medium and add the leeks.  Sauté until wilted and just starting to turn golden on the edges, about 6 minutes.  Add a pinch of salt to the leeks and set aside to cool.

Core and shave the fennel bulb with a mandolin, peeler, or sharp knife, into very thin slices.  Slice the asparagus diagonally at similar thickness to the fennel, discarding tough ends.

In a large bowl, add lemon thyme, lemon juice, salt, pepper, coriander and whisk in remaining olive oil.  Add the sautéed leeks, sliced asparagus and fennel.  Toss to thoroughly incorporate dressing.

Add avocado slices and toasted almonds to serve.

Merci pour cette belle recette!   Je l'ai essayé et toute la famille a beaucoup aimé.   J'Ai ajouté du bacon croustillant.   C'était parfait!

Made this and loved it - thank you!  This is going on the mother’s day brunch menu :)

We love this recipe and found that verjus substitutes perfectly for the lemon juice for anyone (like my husband) who has a citrus allergy.

Loved this salad as did everyone who I shared it with. It's crunchy, interesting, flavorful and healthy. I'll make this one again and again. I have shared this recipe with everyone that I served it too.

Love this salad!!  Didnt change anything in the recipe.

I have made this several times.  Especially when Asparagus first started this spring.  An excellent potluck dish!

This was sooooo good! My daughter, who could be a fennel addict, chose this for me to make, we loved it. It will be a regular on our Lent menu over the next forty days, and then beyond.

Oh my.  This is pure goodness -- and looks beautiful as well!!  
I LOVE fennel.  Made the beet orange fennel salad last week (another fave) and had an extra fennel bulb, so I made this salad tonight.  
I substituted a red onion for the leek because i didn't have a leek.  No other changes.  I served it on tender greens mixed with some cooked quinoa I had in the fridge, avocado, radishes and cucumbers.  I did not want the meal to end :)

Thank you Sylvia.

I made this today with farm fresh asparagus.  Was so delectably satisfying!  Tastes like spring.
I could drink the dressing....
Thanks Tonia and Sylvia!

I wanted a lite dinner and made this tonight. The fresh and straight forward taste makes this something special.  I added hearts of palm which complemented the avocado.  This is definitely a keeper - next time I’d like to add some mint  as well.

So fresh and delicious. I followed the recipe as written except used less oil. The flavors in the dressing were a perfect compliment to the raw veggies. This is so healthy and delicious. Thank you for another winner!

I’ve made this several times already this summer and it’s on the menu again tonight🙂  It’s so fresh!

This was absolutely delicious!  Will definitely be on repeat for my family!
