MOLDED ASPARAGUS SALAD



Molded Asparagus Salad image

We enjoy this salad in the spring with fried chicken. It's also good with turkey or chicken casseroles during winter. I even served it at Thanksgiving instead of a Waldorf salad. I began cooking when I was 8 years old. My parents did the farm chores before breakfast, so I decided I'd surprise them one morning by making biscuits while they were outside. I ended up with the dough on both hands that just wouldn't let loose-I can still see my mother's big grin when she came in and spotted me!

RAW ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH WALNUTS & PARMESAN



Raw Asparagus Salad with Walnuts & Parmesan image

From Joshua McFadden's Six Seasons, a favorite cookbook. Notes: Bread Crumbs: I love whizzing up stale bread in the food processor and toasting the crumbs in olive oil. If you're not up for this, panko bread crumbs would be fine. I would still toast them in olive oil before adding them to the salad. You also could omit the bread crumbs and add more walnuts in their place. Also: You only need 1/3 cup of toasted bread crumbs for this recipe, but I find it easier to make a large batch of crumbs than a small one. Save the remaining crumbs for other salads, soups, or eggs. They're irresistible!

Categories     Salad

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

a large hunk of bread, to yield 1.5 to 2 cups lightly packed fresh crumbs, see notes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup walnuts
1 lb. asparagus, tough bottoms trimmed
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt to taste, I use Maldon here
freshly cracked black pepper to taste
zest from 1 lemon
Juice from 1 to 2 lemons to yield 1/4 cup
1/4 cup lightly packed mint leaves, optional
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Place day-old bread in the food processor and whiz until fine. Measure out 1.5 to 2 cups of crumbs. Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the crumbs and the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crumbs are golden brown. This could take 5 to 15 minutes (or longer) depending on your heat level. If you have the time, go slowly to prevent burning. When the crumbs are nice and golden, turn off the heat. Let cool briefly. Taste. Add more salt if necessary. Measure out 1/3 cup of the crumbs - this is the amount the original recipe calls for. You can use more if you wish.
  • Place the walnuts in a medium skillet. Set the skillet over low heat. Allow the walnuts to toast slowly while you prepare the salad. Remove them from the heat when they smell and look toasty. You can chop them on a cutting board or by gently crushing them in a tea towel.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the asparagus thinly on the bias.
  • In a large bowl, combine the toasted walnuts, the 1/3 cup (or more!) toasted bread crumbs, the grated Parmigiano Reggiano, the crushed red pepper flakes (starting with 1/4 teaspoon if you are sensitive to heat), salt and pepper to taste, and the zest of the lemon. Stir to combine. Add the asparagus and toss to combine. "Taste and dial in the flavors by adding more salt, black pepper, chile flakes, or lemon juice. When the flavors are bright and delicious, add the mint (if using) and 1/4 cup olive oil." Toss to combine. Taste and adjust the flavors again if necessary.
  • Transfer to a serving platter. Crack more pepper over top if you wish.

CHILLED ASPARAGUS SALAD



Chilled Asparagus Salad image

I like to use a kitchen scissor to cut only the very bottom from the stalk; breaking it off causes more of the bottom to go to waste, which is otherwise perfectly edible. With the smaller, thinner "pencil" asparagus, the stalks are too thin to peel and you need that protective layer so the asparagus keep their shape during cooking. For larger asparagus, where the skin is tougher, I do peel the stalk but leave the tip and an inch or so below the tip, unpeeled. The top is tender enough that it can be cooked as is.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 quarts water
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
32 stalks small to medium-size green asparagus, washed and ends trimmed
2 lemons, juiced
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons smooth Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • I like asparagus al dente, slightly crunchy. Bring the water to a boil in a large pot over medium heat. Add salt until it tastes like mild seawater. How will you know? Take a little water with a spoon and taste it, then add the sugar.
  • Prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl, large enough to hold the asparagus, with cold water. Add some ice cubes. Plunge the asparagus into the ice bath before cooking. This will help to bring any limp stalks back to life. Remove from the ice bath, plunge them into the boiling water and allow them to cook, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water, transferring them immediately to the same ice bath. Allow them to sit in the ice bath for a few minutes, swirling them gently in the water to assure they are all cooling quickly in the cold water.
  • The most important step for this dish? Drying the stalks once they are removed from the ice bath. Taking care that no water gets into the final salad is the best way to assure that the maximum flavor will be enjoyed! Transfer the asparagus to a large plate or platter lined with a kitchen towel and refrigerate.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, white wine vinegar, honey and mustard. Stir to blend. Whisk in the olive oil in an even, steady stream. When all of the oil has been integrated, taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
  • When ready to serve, remove the kitchen towel from the asparagus and simply toss the asparagus in the dressing to coat them completely. Arrange the stalks on plates and serve.

ASPARAGUS JELLO SALAD, MA



Asparagus Jello Salad, Ma image

Found this recipe in Ma's recipe file box in NC in July 2019. It had no title, so this one is one I created. With the ingredients listed in the recipe, it just made sense.

Provided by Megan Stewart

Categories     Gelatin Salads

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 can(s) cream of asparagus soup
8 oz philly cream cheese
3/4 c celery
1/2 c green pepper
2/3 c water
1/2 c mayonnaise
small lime jello
1/2 c nuts

Steps:

  • 1. Heat soup to nearly boiling, add cream cheese. Do lime jello with water.

Tips:

  • Pick the freshest asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and firm, with tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, yellowed, or have soft tips.
  • Cook the asparagus properly: Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most common method is to blanch it. To blanch asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Immediately remove the asparagus from the boiling water and plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your asparagus Jell-O salad will taste. Use real mayonnaise, sour cream, and cream cheese. Avoid using pre-packaged or imitation ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the salad: Once you have added all of the ingredients to the salad, stir it gently until everything is combined. Overmixing will make the salad mushy.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Asparagus Jell-O salad is best served chilled. Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Asparagus Jell-O salad is a classic side dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and other gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its鮮脆的蘆筍、滑嫩的果凍和濃郁的蛋黃醬混合而成的清爽口感,無論是大人還是小孩都會喜歡。如果你正在尋找一道既美味又健康的沙拉,那麼蘆筍果凍沙拉絕對是你的不二之選。
