How to Make Asparagus Prawn And Dill Salad

  1. Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound asparagus spears and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bright green and tender-crisp.
  2. Immediately transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and retain its vibrant color. Drain well.
  3. While the asparagus cooks, prepare the dressing: In a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Shake well to combine.
  4. Using a vegetable peeler, create long ribbons from 1 medium cucumber.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the drained asparagus and cucumber ribbons.
  6. Add 1 pound cooked prawns (peeled and deveined) to the bowl.
  7. Pour the dill dressing over the asparagus, cucumber, and prawns. Toss gently to coat.
  8. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra dill sprigs, if desired.
