Ingredients

Asparagus Salad ingredients
  • Asparagus: Slightly earthy and a bit sweet in taste, it is a fantastic source of ،،ium.
  • Green beans: Tender with a slight crunch, they are chalk full of iron, vitamin C, and fiber.
  • Green peas: A great source of plant based protein, flavor can vary from sweet to savory.
  • Olive oil: A heart healthy oil that helps to dress the salad.
  • Lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice adds a bright, citrus flavor that cuts through some of the more earthy flavors.
  • Fresh herbs: What’s in season and available at your D&W Fresh Market? I used dill and parsley, but you could also use basil or oregano.
  • Garlic: Nutty, pungent, aromatic flavor added to the dressing.

Mincing fresh dill

Then make your salad dressing by mincing your fresh herbs. I personally love dill, so did fresh dill and parsley. But you could do whatever is in season at your local grocery store!

To make your dressing, add the olive oil and fresh lemon juice to a large bowl. Whisk together with the garlic, fresh herbs, and some salt and pepper.

Adding veggies to bowl with dressing

Add your blanched veggies to the large bowl and toss to coat in the dressing.

Adding cheese and herbs to salad

For some added flavor, I also like to add some c،bled feta cheese as well.
