ASPARAGUS SALAD

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound asparagus

  • ¼ cup rice vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon roasted sesame oil

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

  • ⅛ teaspoon coarse salt

  • 1½ cups baby arugula or mesclun salad

HOW TO MAKE IT

Step 1

Heat a large pan of lightly salted water to boiling over high heat. Peel the asparagus stalks and trim the ends. Cut the stalks diagonally into 1-inch pieces. Blanch in boiling water 3 minutes or until bright green. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, cilantro, and salt. Add the asparagus and toss until well combined.

Step 3

To serve, mound some salad greens on each of 4 plates. Spoon the dressed asparagus onto the greens and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
