The first signs of spring produce are a welcome marking of winter’s end, and their shades of green are so beautiful on the plate. Some say spring vegetables can be a little fussy, but this this salad is here to expel that myth. Besides lightly blanching the asparagus, this salad requires just a little bit of chopping for a restaurant-quality dish that you can impress your friends with.
Chef Tip: Blanching is a great skill to learn, and it’s so simple. Simply bring a pot of salted water to a boil, cook desired vegetables in it until they’re bright green but still crisp (this often just takes a minute) then shock by placing in ice water to stop the cooking and preserve the bright green pigment.
