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

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
