Asparagus Salad

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Here is another addition to our healthy salad recipes: Asparagus Salad. This is a quick and easy salad recipe that needs minimal cooking. Fresh asparagus is blanched then balsamic vinaigrette composed of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic is poured over it.

Asparagus Salad

Blanching the asparagus means boiling it for a few minutes and immersing it in cold water afterwards. This technique cooks the asparagus (or any vegetable for that matter) while maintaining the texture and color. The balsamic vinaigrette on the other hand serves as a salad dressing.

I like this recipe because of its ease and simplicity; I also love the flavor produced by the combination. As for the texture – it is perfect. You can literally hear the crunch in every bite.

Why don’t you give this a try and let me know what you think.
