How to Make Asparagus Bean And Feta Salad

  1. Steam 1 pound of asparagus spears, covered, for 2-3 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
  2. Immediately rinse the asparagus under cold water to stop the cooking process and drain well.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the asparagus, 1 (15-ounce) can of cannellini beans (drained and rinsed), 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup Kalamata olives (halved), and 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Pour the dressing over the asparagus mixture and gently toss to coat. Avoid over-mixing to prevent the asparagus from breaking.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra feta and mint, if desired.
