Comment préparer Barb's Asparagus Salad
- Wash and snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus.
- Cut the asparagus diagonally into 1-inch pieces.
- Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process.
- While the asparagus is blanching, prepare the remaining ingredients: peel and segment 1 cup mandarin oranges, halve 1 cup seedless green grapes, thinly slice 1/2 cup carrots, finely chop 1/2 cup celery, and thinly slice 2 green onions.
- In a large bowl, combine the blanched asparagus, mandarin oranges, grapes, carrots, celery, and green onions.
- Add your favorite dressing (we recommend a champagne vinaigrette – see recipe notes).
- Gently toss to coat.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Top with 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds and serve immediately or chill for later.
- Recipe Notes: For a delicious champagne vinaigrette, whisk together 1/4 cup champagne vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon honey, salt, and pepper to taste.
