Chopped Raw Asparagus Salad Recipe Recipe For Chicken

CHOPPED ASPARAGUS SALAD

Steps:

• In medium-sized bowl, combine garlic, vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper.
• Drizzle in olive oil slowly, while whisking.
• Drop in peppers, onions and tomatoes as you chop them.
• Blanch asparagus: boil water, drop asparagus into the water and notice that the color turns a bright green, about 30 seconds, immediately remove asparagus with a slotted spoon to ice water to stop the cooking process.
• Once asparagus has cooled a bit, add to the other ingredients and toss well.

ASPARAGUS, PECORINO AND RED ONION SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the asparagus, including the tips into very thin slices, crosswise and place in a medium bowl. Add the red onion and pecorino and toss to combine.

CHILLED ASPARAGUS SALAD

Steps:

• I like asparagus al dente, slightly crunchy. Bring the water to a boil in a large pot over medium heat. Add salt until it tastes like mild seawater. How will you know? Take a little water with a spoon and taste it, then add the sugar.
• Prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl, large enough to hold the asparagus, with cold water. Add some ice cubes. Plunge the asparagus into the ice bath before cooking. This will help to bring any limp stalks back to life. Remove from the ice bath, plunge them into the boiling water and allow them to cook, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water, transferring them immediately to the same ice bath. Allow them to sit in the ice bath for a few minutes, swirling them gently in the water to assure they are all cooling quickly in the cold water.
• The most important step for this dish? Drying the stalks once they are removed from the ice bath. Taking care that no water gets into the final salad is the best way to assure that the maximum flavor will be enjoyed! Transfer the asparagus to a large plate or platter lined with a kitchen towel and refrigerate.
• In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, white wine vinegar, honey and mustard. Stir to blend. Whisk in the olive oil in an even, steady stream. When all of the oil has been integrated, taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
• When ready to serve, remove the kitchen towel from the asparagus and simply toss the asparagus in the dressing to coat them completely. Arrange the stalks on plates and serve.
