Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fresh asparagus
¼ pound snow peas
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1 tablespoon mild honey, or more to taste
sliced scallions
mung bean sprouts
quartered cherry tomatoes

Steps:

Rinse the asparagus and remove the tough stem ends. Steam or boil the spears until tender but still crisp, about 5 minutes.
Drain, rinse under a gentle stream of cold running water or plunge into a pot of cold water to cool them quickly, and drain again.
Set aside in a serving bowl.
Remove any tough stem ends from the snow peas.
Blanch for just a minute or two, until the color brightens and they are crisp-tender.
Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again.
Add the snow peas to the serving bowl and refrigerate.
When ready to serve, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the asparagus and snow peas with the dressing, top with some scallions and mung sprouts, and garnish with a few cherry tomato quarters.
