ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOM SALAD
I've eaten antipasti like this all over Italy. Sometimes celery is substituted for asparagus, but there's no need at this time of year. Both thick and thin stems will work.

Steps:
- Steam the asparagus for three to five minutes, depending on how thick the stalks are. It should be tender but still have some bite. Rinse with cold water, and drain for a minute on a kitchen towel. Cut into 1-inch lengths. Place in a salad bowl, and toss with the mushrooms, herbs and arugula.
- Whisk together the lemon juice, salt and pepper, garlic and olive oil. Toss with the asparagus mixture and the slivered Parmesan, and serve.

Steps:
- Put the barley in a medium pot with water to cover by a few inches and salt it generously. Tie the thyme sprigs, parsley stems, and bay leaf together with a piece of kitchen twine and add to the pot, along with the lemon peel. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and remove the herbs and lemon.
- Meanwhile, toss the mushrooms with 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a large bowl. Whisk the remaining lemon juice with the mustard, remaining salt, and pepper, to taste, in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick vinaigrette. Add the shallots.
- Toss the mushrooms, barley, and the dressing together. Stir in the chopped herbs. Set aside at room temperature for about 1 hour for the flavors to come together.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spread the spears in a single layer in a shallow baking pan, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roll to coat thoroughly. Roast the asparagus until lightly browned and tender, about 10 minutes, giving the pan a good shake about halfway through.
- Spread the roasted asparagus on a serving platter. Spoon the barley salad on top and serve.

Provided by Mom_s
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- 1. Simmer the quinoa in the water until the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. 2. Heat the oil in a pan. 3. Add the shiitake mushrooms and saute for a few minutes. 4. Add the teriyaki sauce until it is absorbed, about 1-3 minutes. 5. Add the sesame oil and remove from heat and let cool a bit. 6. Mix everything and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus. Look for firm, straight asparagus spears with tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends.
- Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most popular methods are boiling, steaming, and roasting. Boiling is the quickest method, but it can also result in mushy asparagus. Steaming is a gentler method that preserves the asparagus's nutrients and flavor. Roasting is a great way to bring out the asparagus's natural sweetness.
- Don't overcook the asparagus. Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Choose the right mushrooms. There are many different types of mushrooms that can be used in this salad, but some of the most popular include button mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms. Choose mushrooms that are firm and fresh.
- Slice the mushrooms thinly. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Sauté the mushrooms in butter. This will help to bring out their flavor and give them a nice golden brown color.
- Use a good quality dressing. The dressing is what will bring all of the flavors of the salad together. Use a dressing that you like and that complements the other ingredients in the salad.
- Serve the salad immediately. Asparagus and mushroom salad is best served fresh. The longer it sits, the more the asparagus will wilt and the mushrooms will lose their flavor.
Conclusion:
Asparagus and mushroom salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and fresh flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
