Ingredients for Asparagus Tomato Salad W Yoghurt Dressing 6

  • Green Onions
  • Plain Yogurt

How to Make Asparagus Tomato Salad W Yoghurt Dressing 6

  1. Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus and cut into 1-inch pieces. Steam or blanch the asparagus until tender-crisp (about 3-5 minutes). Immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside to cool.
  2. Halve or quarter 2 medium tomatoes, depending on size. Finely chop 1/4 cup red onion.
  3. In a medium bowl, gently combine the cooled asparagus, tomatoes, and red onion.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Pour the yogurt dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to coat.
  6. To serve: Arrange fresh lettuce leaves on plates and spoon the salad on top. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
