Tangy Asparagus Salad


Fresh asparagus salad is one of my favorite spring salads. It has a light and flavorful crunch and is drizzled with a tangy lemon avocado vinaigrette dressing.


Spring is on its way! I am getting ready with my Asparagus Salad with Tangy Avocado Lemon Vinaigrette. 

It is beautiful, fresh, healthy, and vibrant.My spring salad has simple, fresh ingredients, asparagus, cucumbers, and chili peppers.  

The salad is drizzled with a fantastic avocado lemon vinaigrette.  The dressing only takes minutes to make and adds so much freshness.

The salad can be made a day before serving, and leftovers are welcome.  The ingredients marry together and are heightened to a new level of flavor.  

Asparagus is blanched for the best texture and holds up in the vinaigrette for days.  

I like to use English cucumbers with the skin stripped to hold up in the vinaigrette in the refrigerator.

HOW TO MAKE SPRING ASPARAGUS SALAD 



Add the asparagus to a large pot with 6 cups boiling water and 1 tablespoon salt.

Bring water back up to boil.  Boil the asparagus for 3-5 minutes.

Drain in a colander and immediately place in a bowl of ice water until the asparagus is cool to the touch.

Drain on a kitchen towel to absorb the excess water.

 While the asparagus is draining on the towel, make the vinaigrette.

In a food processor or high speed blender, add the fresh avocado, avocado oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper, pulse to combine.

Turn down the speed and drizzle the water.  Taste and adjust the seasoning with more lemon juice, salt and pepper, or water to thin out.

Transfer the asparagus to a large bowl.  Add the cucumbers and toss gently.  

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the vegetables.  Toss gently.  Add the chili peppers and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.

Serve cold or at room temperature.
