Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds asparagus, trimmed
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
3 navel oranges
14 ounces lump crabmeat
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 cup Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Cook asparagus in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Cut top 6 inches from asparagus. Set 6-inch asparagus tips aside. Slice remaining asparagus into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Transfer slices to large bowl. Mix in 1/2 cup chives.
  • Cut peel and white pith from oranges. Working over bowl, cut between membranes to release segments. Drain off juices. Transfer segments to bowl with asparagus slices and chives. Gently mix in crabmeat. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Whisk 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice, sugar, vinegar, and orange peel in medium bowl until sugar dissolves. Whisk in mustard. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Divide asparagus stalks among 6 plates. Mound salad in center of plates. Pour dressing over each salad. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons chives.

I'm not sure I would make this salad again. There are other recipes out there that I like better.

This salad is a good starting point, but it needs some tweaking to make it really great.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more herbs or spices to the dressing.

I found the crab to be a bit too overpowering in this salad. I would recommend using less crab or using a different type of seafood.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste. I would recommend using less orange juice in the dressing.

I added some avocado to my salad and it was delicious! I also used a lemon vinaigrette instead of the orange dressing.

This is a great salad to make ahead of time. I made it the night before and it was just as good the next day.

I'm not a fan of asparagus, but I loved this salad! The orange and crab really balance out the flavor of the asparagus.
