Como fazer Asparagus Salad With Balsamic Vinegar
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Immediately transfer asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and maintain vibrant green color. Drain well.
- Place the chilled asparagus in a decorative bowl and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, boil balsamic vinegar until reduced by half, about 3-5 minutes, or until syrupy. This concentrates the flavor and creates a balsamic glaze.
- While the balsamic glaze is still warm, whisk in olive oil, Dijon mustard, marjoram, and minced garlic in a large bowl.
- Season the dressing generously with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Add the chilled asparagus and sliced red bell peppers to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to combine.
- Just before serving, sprinkle with toasted slivered almonds or walnuts (optional).
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
