Categories     appetizer

Time 1h8m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch pencil asparagus, tough bottom stems removed
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 cup coarsely grated aged pecorino
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Cut the asparagus, including the tips into very thin slices, crosswise and place in a medium bowl. Add the red onion and pecorino and toss to combine. Dress with the vinegar, olive oil and salt and toss again. This salad should be fairly heavily dressed. The vinegar will sort of "cook" or tenderize the asparagus.
  • It is best to do this about an hour or so in advance to let the flavors "marry".
  • Semplice!

GRILLED CORN, ASPARAGUS AND SPRING ONION SALAD



Grilled Corn, Asparagus and Spring Onion Salad image

In this cookout perfect salad, corn, asparagus and spring onions benefit from the deep flavors of the grill. Their outer layers get a rustic char, their full sweetness is released, and they go from raw to cooked while maintaining a crunchy bite. Still warm, they're doused in one of Mexico's most fun ways to dress grilled vegetables or potato chips, an easy-to-eat sauce where umami, citrus and heat converge. The mixture is typically referred to as salsa preparada, meaning you simply mix these sauces together to "prepare" your food. You may wonder if the soy, Worcestershire and Maggi sauces compete, but each has a different character of sazón, which is whisked with plenty of fresh squeezed lime juice and a punch of chile oil. If more heat is desired, you can add a splash of your favorite hot sauce. This salad is great solo as an appetizer, but it is even better served right next to grilled meats.

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 ears fresh corn (preferably white corn), shucked and cleaned
1 bunch asparagus (about 8 ounces), woody ends removed, stalks peeled up to flower bud
1 bunch spring onions or 2 bunches large scallions (about 8 ounces total), trimmed
Vegetable oil
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (from about 2 limes)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Maggi sauce
1 tablespoon chile oil or hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt, plus more to taste
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Heat grill to high. Lightly brush corn, asparagus and spring onions with vegetable oil. Place them on the grill and spread them out in one layer so they can cook evenly. Flip the vegetables a couple of times until they are charred on all sides but retain a firm bite; asparagus and spring onions should cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness, and corn about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove them from the grill as they are ready, then set aside.
  • While the vegetables grill, combine lime juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire, Maggi, chile oil and salt in a large bowl. Whisk until fully combined. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
  • Once vegetables have cooled enough to handle, cut asparagus and spring onions into thirds and add them to the bowl. Shave the kernels from the corn, discarding the cobs, and add kernels to the bowl. Toss to combine with the sauce. Add the halved tomatoes and combine well. Serve warm or at room temperature.

1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill leaves
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 medium cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and sliced crosswise
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 pounds asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 (7- or 8-ounce) can hearts of palm, rinsed, drained, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 medium vine-ripened tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 small head iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, sugar, and dill. Add cucumbers and onion, season with salt and pepper, and toss until well combined; set aside.
  • Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add salt and return water to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Place asparagus in boiling water; cook until just tender, 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer asparagus to ice-water bath for 1 minute, remove and pat dry; transfer to cucumber mixture. Add beans to the boiling water, and cook until just tender, 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beans to the ice-water bath for 1 minute, remove and pat dry. Transfer beans to cucumber mixture along with hearts of palm, tomatoes, and lettuce. Season with salt and pepper; toss until well combined.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest ingredients: Look for asparagus stalks that are firm and green, green onions that are crisp and bright, cucumbers that are firm and free of blemishes, and herbs that are fragrant and flavorful.
  • Prepare the vegetables properly: Trim the asparagus spears and slice them into 2-inch pieces. Thinly slice the green onions and cucumbers. Chop the herbs finely.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: This salad is best when the vegetables are allowed to shine through. Use just enough dressing to lightly coat the vegetables, and adjust the amount to your taste.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. The asparagus and cucumbers will start to wilt if they sit for too long.

This asparagus, green onion, cucumber, and herb salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is light, healthy, and packed with vitamins and minerals. The combination of asparagus, green onions, cucumbers, and herbs creates a delicious and unique flavor that will please everyone at your table.
