Spring Green Salad with Asparagus
Report
This Spring Green Salad with Asparagus combines tender blanched asparagus, mâche, romaine, peas, radishes, avocado, and feta cheese into a fresh mix of textures and flavors. The salad is dressed with a lemon and red wine vinegar vinaigrette flavored with Dijon mustard and dill, providing bright acidity to complement the crisp greens and creamy avocado. The blanched asparagus adds a subtle crunch and springtime appeal.
Description
The salad features a blend of spring greens including mâche and chopped romaine with blanched asparagus spears, thawed peas, julienned radishes, cubed avocado, and feta cheese. Asparagus is boiled briefly in salted water and shocked in ice water to preserve its color and crispness. The dressing, shaken together from avocado or olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, dill, salt, and pepper, adds a tart and herby note that balances the creamy avocado and salty feta. Combining all ingredients and dressing just before serving ensures the salad stays crisp and fresh.
