MARINATED ASPARAGUS SALAD
This is a nice make ahead recipe. The asparagus is so sweet and flavorful that you might want to elimate the dressing altogether. Many guests did enjoy using it to dip the spears in - it totally changes the flavor. You also might consider adding some halved cherry tomatoes to the marinade. The time listed does not include the marination time.

Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cut vegetables or pre-cooked tuna. You can also use canned tuna instead of fresh tuna, but be sure to drain and flake it before using.
- If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use crushed crackers or bread crumbs instead.
- To make the panko breadcrumbs more flavorful, toast them in a pan with some olive oil and garlic powder before using.
- To make the citrus marinade, you can use any type of citrus fruit you like. Oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits are all good choices.
- Be sure to let the asparagus marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to infuse the asparagus with flavor.
- When cooking the asparagus, be careful not to overcook it. Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- To make the tuna tartare, be sure to use fresh, high-quality tuna. The tuna should be finely diced and mixed with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, capers, and shallots.
- To serve the salad, place a bed of asparagus on a plate and top with the tuna tartare. Garnish with panko breadcrumbs and microgreens.
Conclusion:
This citrus-marinated asparagus salad with tuna tartare is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, the tuna tartare is creamy and tangy, and the panko breadcrumbs add a nice crunchy texture. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
