Description

This salad is so light, fresh, and crisp. It's the perfect side dish for a Spring or Summer weeknight meal or weekend cookout.

Ingredients
  • 1 lb asparagus, rough ends trimmed and remaining cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 small bunches radish, thinly sliced (about 2 Cups)
  • 0.5 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 0.75 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely minced
  • 2 tsp fresh tarragon, finely minced
  • 3 tbsp fresh parsley, finely minced
  • 1 tsp salt, or to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
  1. 1

    Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the asparagus to the water and boil until crisp-tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. While the asparagus is cooking, prepare an ice water bath in a large bowl. When the asparagus is done, remove immediately to the ice water bath using a slotted spoon and let cool.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic, shallot, dill, tarragon, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined and emulsified. Set aside.

  3. 3
    Remove the asparagus from the ice water bath to a paper towel and dry well.
  4. 4

    Add the dried asparagus, radishes, and onion to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss well. Serve chilled.
