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.

ASPARAGUS & MUSHROOM SALAD
For many years, we have been blessed with an asparagus bed that has grown the most sweet and savory asparagus we have ever tasted. The only problem, is that we usually have it every day while it continues to grow and prosper. I use this salad on a warmish night, when all you can smell is the freshness of Spring.

Steps:
- Dressing -- Make this ahead and refrigerate until ready to use. In a small bowl, add the yogurt, mustard and parmesan, salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate until ready to use. If the dressing is too thick for you, add a little of the milk. I usually add about 1 teaspoon, but add more if you like the dressing a bit thinner. Make ahead, it is even better.
- Asparagus and Mushrooms -- When ready to make the salad, add the asparagus and mushrooms to a small bowl and mix with the olive oil, italian seasoning, pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well and add to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or not. The parchment paper makes for a quick clean up. Roast in a 425 degree oven, middle shelf for 7-10 minutes. You want the asparagus and mushrooms roasted and slightly tender, but not over done.
- Salad and Plate -- In a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the dressing and toss with the lettuce and onion. Plate about 1 1/2 cups of the lettuce per plate and top with the asparagus and mushrooms. Drizzle the creamy dressing over the salad and serve. ENJOY! This is a simple but very good salad.

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:
- Select tender asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that snap easily when bent. Avoid spears that are thick or woody.
- Trim asparagus properly: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can also peel the bottom inch or two of the spears if they are particularly tough.
- Cook asparagus to perfection: Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. The key is to cook it until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- Choose the right mushrooms: Any type of mushroom can be used in this salad, but some of the most popular choices include cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms.
- Slice mushrooms evenly: Slice the mushrooms into even pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. Use a dressing that is tangy, flavorful, and complements the asparagus and mushrooms.
- Add some crunch: To add some extra crunch to the salad, you can add some chopped nuts or seeds. Some popular choices include walnuts, almonds, pecans, and sunflower seeds.
- Serve immediately: Asparagus and mushroom salad is best served immediately after it is made. The asparagus will start to lose its鮮脆度 after a few hours.
Conclusion:
Asparagus and mushroom salad is a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a side dish. It is packed with nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The asparagus and mushrooms provide a good source of dietary fiber, which is important for digestive health.
