Warm Asparagus Salad - June 2, 2011



I prepared our CSA asparagus last night, before all of the tasty sugars could turn to starch. The recipe I found on 101 Cookbooks. Heidi's talent to turn a handful of ingredients into something incredibly delicious never ceases to amaze me. The asparagus salad was no exception. I made a few minor changes, including omitting the broccolini and simply replacing it with more asparagus. The dressing needed to be tweaked as well. Since I didn't have any shallots, green garlic substituted nicely. This recipe also used some of our French Breakfast radishes, leaving me just enough for breakfast this weekend.



Nick and I served our salad with poached eggs and toast, always a winning pair at our house. The combination of lemon juice, toasted pine nuts and green garlic in the dressing really added bright flavor to the asparagus and radishes. I loved every bite.
