ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH WALNUT OIL VINAIGRETTE

Asparagus Salad With Walnut Oil Vinaigrette image

This is the BEST recipe I have ever found using fresh asparagus. I think I could eat this salad everyday for the rest of my life. I discovered this exceptional recipe on foodnetwork, originally from Emeril Lagasse. I have added Blue Cheese crumbles to the finished salad because I think it sends this salad over the top. I have made this recipe several times now. Every time I make it I enjoy it more and more. This salad will make an ordinary meal fabulous!! If you enjoy asparagus as much as I do, I think you will enjoy this recipe!

ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH HARD-BOILED EGGS

Asparagus Salad With Hard-Boiled Eggs image

A classic Italian salad, there are many versions of this dish. Sometimes the asparagus are not cut up, just topped with chopped hard-boiled eggs and vinaigrette. I like to cut them into pieces and toss everything together.

RAW ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH BREADCRUMBS, WALNUTS, AND MINT

Raw Asparagus Salad with Breadcrumbs, Walnuts, and Mint image

Make this dish before you do any cooked asparagus dishes, at the start of the season when you get pristine spears. At first glance, the dish looks kind of "meh," but once you taste it, the flavor and texture blow you away. Be sure to cut the asparagus very thin.
