How to Make Asparagus Beans Arugula Salad With Mustard Vinaigrette

  1. Blanch asparagus: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon honey, salt, and pepper to taste.
  3. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine 5 ounces of arugula, 1 (15-ounce) can of cannelloni beans (rinsed and drained), and the blanched asparagus. Add 1/4 cup of microgreens.
  4. Dress and serve: Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately or chill for later. Optional: Top with smoked salmon, grilled chicken, or other protein of your choice.
