PEA AND ASPARAGUS SALAD



Pea and Asparagus Salad image

Instead of making ribbons, thinly slice your asparagus on a strong bias -- this gives the raw vegetable a crisp-tender bite, and it isn't as stringy.

GREEN SALAD WITH ASPARAGUS AND PEAS



Green Salad With Asparagus and Peas image

A Scandinavian Vegetarian/Vegan salad from Eating Well Magazine. I have fond memories of simple salads such as these during my travels to Sweden. They recommend you use thin, tender asparagus for this recipe. NOTE: I found the raw asparagus kind of strange for me, so next time I am going to cook it slightly before putting it in the salad.

CRUNCHY SPRING ICEBERG SALAD



Crunchy Spring Iceberg Salad image

A big plate of greens may feel virtuous, but this one is also luxurious. This is a very green salad, with chunks of crisp iceberg lettuce serving as a bed for briefly blanched peas and asparagus, topped with a cooling-yet-spicy cilantro yogurt. Tearing the iceberg into bite-size chunks makes this an easy-to-eat salad, no knife required. It's particularly great for outdoor dining or for those who need to eat with one hand. (We see you, new parents.) The feta adds lovely hints of tang and saltiness that work well with the herbaceous yogurt. The peas and asparagus bring freshness; you could also use other springtime staples such as snow peas, sugar snap peas or sliced radish. Serve with jammy boiled eggs for something heartier.

Categories     weekday, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Salt and black pepper
2 cups frozen peas
16 to 20 asparagus spears, trimmed and sliced into 1-inch pieces (about 12 ounces)
1 (1½-pound) medium head iceberg lettuce
6 ounces feta, drained and broken into chunks
Handful of cilantro leaves, for serving
1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup chopped cilantro (leaves and tender stems from about ½ bunch)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of ½ lemon or lime (1 to 2 tablespoons)
1 garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
1 to 2 jalapeños or serrano chiles, trimmed and roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare the salad: Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the frozen peas and asparagus, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the asparagus and peas are bright green and crisp tender. Drain and run under cold water until they are cold. Leave to drain.
  • Prepare the lettuce: Run a sharp paring knife around the core and gently pull it out. Remove the outer layer of the lettuce and discard. Tear the lettuce into large chunks. Wash the leaves and allow them to dry in a colander. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Prepare the spicy cilantro yogurt: To a blender or small food processor, add the yogurt, cilantro, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and 1 jalapeño. Blitz until smooth. (Add a teaspoon of water at a time to get the mixture moving in the blender if necessary.) Taste and add the second jalapeño if you would like it spicier.
  • Serve as one large salad or divide among four individual serving plates: Add the lettuce chunks to the plate, and scatter the asparagus and peas on top and around the lettuce. Spoon the spicy cilantro yogurt all over the vegetables, dot with feta and squeeze the juice from the lemon half over everything. Season with salt and black pepper, and top with a few cilantro leaves.

GREEN BEAN AND ASPARAGUS SALAD



Green Bean and Asparagus Salad image

Very tasty salad of roasted asparagus and green beans. I got the inspiration when I was indecisive about choosing between the two vegetables for a side dish. Roasting the vegetables brings out their great flavor and the addition of cherry tomatoes, onion, and fresh parsley give it a lovely color.

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: Save time by washing and chopping the asparagus and peas in advance. You can also roast the asparagus up to 2 days ahead and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh asparagus and peas. Look for asparagus that is bright green and has tightly closed tips. Peas should be plump and sweet.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Asparagus and peas cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked vegetables will lose their鮮嫩度 and flavor.
  • Make a Simple Dressing: A simple vinaigrette dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the vegetables. Use a good quality olive oil and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Add Some Crunch: To add some extra crunch to the salad, try adding some toasted nuts, seeds, or croutons.

Conclusion:

This green salad with asparagus and peas is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for spring or summer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a light and refreshing salad, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
