How to Make Asian Marinated Asparagus Salad
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
- Immediately transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and retain its vibrant green color. Drain well and set aside.
- In a large zip-top bag, whisk together 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add the drained asparagus to the bag, seal tightly, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Before serving, sprinkle the marinated asparagus with 1/4 cup slivered almonds and 2 tablespoons chopped scallions.
