ROASTED ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH BERRIES AND RASPBERRY VINAIGRETTE



Roasted Asparagus Salad With Berries and Raspberry Vinaigrette image

From the Dole Company-as found on a bunch of fresh asparagus spears. (Yep, I played around with the recipe.) The original recipe uses bottled raspberry dressing. Roasting the asparagus brings out the delicious flavor, whereas steaming seems to make it soggy, in my opinion. When shopping for asparagus look for spears with stalks that are uniform in size and leaves that are tightly close, indicating freshness.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips.
  • Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is a key ingredient in this salad, so make sure to use a good quality oil that has a fruity, flavorful taste.
  • Make the raspberry vinaigrette ahead of time. The vinaigrette can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits. In addition to oranges, you can also use grapefruit, lemons, or limes in this salad. The different citrus fruits will add a variety of flavors and colors to the salad.

Conclusion:

Orange Asparagus Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a spring or summer lunch or dinner. The salad is made with fresh asparagus, oranges, red onion, and feta cheese, and is tossed in a tangy raspberry vinaigrette.
