Categories side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
1 tablespoon chopped shallot
1 clove garlic, smashed
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
8 ounces red radishes, cut into 1/4-inch wedges
1 lemon, halved
1 avocado, sliced into wedges
Finely chopped fresh tarragon, for garnish

Steps:

To make the dressing: In the bowl of a food processor or mini chopper, add the walnuts, shallots and garlic. Pulse until the walnuts are crumbly but the mixture is starting to get a little pasty. Add the oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
For the salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with cold water and ice and set aside. Cook the asparagus until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer immediately to the ice bath to chill for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Cut diagonally on a long, sharp bias into 2-inch pieces. Add to a serving bowl.
Add the radishes to the asparagus. Squeeze the lemon juice over the vegetables and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Gently toss. Spoon the dressing over the salad and toss again. Arrange the avocado over the salad, then garnish with the tarragon and serve immediately.

PEELED ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH RADISH AND TOASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS

Peeled Asparagus Salad With Radish and Toasted Pumpkin Seeds image

With farm-fresh asparagus, no cooking is needed. If the stalks are fat, slice them lengthwise with a simple kitchen peeler; if they're skinny, just chop everything up fine. Add radishes, fresh herbs, pea tendrils (if available), toasted pumpkin seeds, and you have an easy, incredibly vibrant salad. Add Parmesan or cut-up hard-boiled eggs if you like. Finish with olive oil and lemon juice.
