ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND SCALLION SALAD
In this hearty, many-textured salad, soft, roasted asparagus is tossed with chewy whole grains and crisp, sweet caramelized scallions. You can use freekeh or farro here for the grains. Both are whole-wheat kernels, but the freekeh has a slightly smoky note from being toasted, while the farro is nuttier-tasting. You can prepare the freekeh or farro ahead and let it marinate in the dressing for up to six hours, but it's best to roast the asparagus and scallions within an hour of serving. Don't use pecorino Romano here, it's too sharp. If you can't find a young pecorino, use a young manchego or even a nice Cheddar, and serve this as a light main course or a salad course to a more substantial meal.

Steps:
- Bring a small pot of heavily salted water to a boil, stir in freekeh or farro, cover, and simmer until al dente, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, and pinch salt and pepper. Drizzle in 3 tablespoons oil, whisking constantly.
- Drain freekeh and stir immediately into dressing while still warm.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spread asparagus and scallions over a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle liberally with oil, 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to combine, then arrange in a single layer. Roast until they start to char in spots, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly: The asparagus are best while still a little warm but not hot enough to wilt the greens.
- Toss salad greens in the bowl with freekeh and dressing until leaves are coated, and transfer to serving platter. Top with roasted asparagus and scallions, shave cheese over salad if you like, and serve.

Steps:
- Put the barley in a medium pot with water to cover by a few inches and salt it generously. Tie the thyme sprigs, parsley stems, and bay leaf together with a piece of kitchen twine and add to the pot, along with the lemon peel. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and remove the herbs and lemon.
- Meanwhile, toss the mushrooms with 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a large bowl. Whisk the remaining lemon juice with the mustard, remaining salt, and pepper, to taste, in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick vinaigrette. Add the shallots.
- Toss the mushrooms, barley, and the dressing together. Stir in the chopped herbs. Set aside at room temperature for about 1 hour for the flavors to come together.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spread the spears in a single layer in a shallow baking pan, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roll to coat thoroughly. Roast the asparagus until lightly browned and tender, about 10 minutes, giving the pan a good shake about halfway through.
- Spread the roasted asparagus on a serving platter. Spoon the barley salad on top and serve.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH BERRIES AND RASPBERRY VINAIGRETTE
From the Dole Company-as found on a bunch of fresh asparagus spears. (Yep, I played around with the recipe.) The original recipe uses bottled raspberry dressing. Roasting the asparagus brings out the delicious flavor, whereas steaming seems to make it soggy, in my opinion. When shopping for asparagus look for spears with stalks that are uniform in size and leaves that are tightly close, indicating freshness.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH CITRUS DRESSING
This recipe was featured in an email from the www.lifescript.com website. "Rest roasted asparagus and tomatoes on a bed of watercress for a special touch. The fat-free dressing is a sweet-sour combination of fresh citrus juices, honey and Dijon mustard. Just as tasty warm or at room temperature, this salad works well when served as part of an easy buffet-style brunch."

Steps:
- Dressing -- Make this ahead and refrigerate until ready to use. In a small bowl, add the yogurt, mustard and parmesan, salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate until ready to use. If the dressing is too thick for you, add a little of the milk. I usually add about 1 teaspoon, but add more if you like the dressing a bit thinner. Make ahead, it is even better.
- Asparagus and Mushrooms -- When ready to make the salad, add the asparagus and mushrooms to a small bowl and mix with the olive oil, italian seasoning, pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well and add to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or not. The parchment paper makes for a quick clean up. Roast in a 425 degree oven, middle shelf for 7-10 minutes. You want the asparagus and mushrooms roasted and slightly tender, but not over done.
- Salad and Plate -- In a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the dressing and toss with the lettuce and onion. Plate about 1 1/2 cups of the lettuce per plate and top with the asparagus and mushrooms. Drizzle the creamy dressing over the salad and serve. ENJOY! This is a simple but very good salad.

BALSAMIC ASPARAGUS SALAD
For this asparagus salad, allow enough time to let the flavors blend for at least an hour. That's one of the secrets to why it tastes so delicious! If you're short on time, use 1/2 cup prepared balsamic vinaigrette instead of making it from scratch. -Dolores Brigham, Inglewood, California

ROASTED ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH FRIED SAGE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Trim bottom of asparagus spears at point where they turn pale and tough. If spears are medium to thick, peel lower two thirds of the trimmed spears with sharp vegetable peeler. Thin spears needn't be peeled. Place them in a bowl, add chopped sage, olive oil and a light sprinkle of salt and toss lightly. Spread asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast until the spears are slightly limp -- 4 to 8 minutes depending on their thickness. Remove from oven and let cool. Heat olive oil in a 1 1/2 to 2 quart saucepan to 330 degrees. Drop in half of the sage leaves and turn them in the oil with a wire skimmer or slotted spoon. Fry for only 10 to 15 seconds, do not let the leaves brown. Then remove them to paper towels to drain. Fry the remaining sage leaves and sprinkle them all lightly with salt. They should crisp when they cool. The sage can be fried up to 1 day ahead of time -- store in airtight container at room temperature. Shave the Parmigiano cheese into thin curls. For the dressing, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped sage, salt, pepper in a small mixing bowl, whisk in the oil. When ready to serve, toss asparagus with the dressing in a large bowl. Arrange the dressed asparagus on a serving platter, sprinkle with Parmigiano curls and with the fried sage leaves.

Roast asparagus until crisp-tender, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Transfer asparagus to platter; cool.
- Using sharp knife, cut peel and white pith from tangerines. Cut between membranes to release segments. Arrange tangerine segments atop asparagus. Whisk tangerine juice, vinegar, sesame oil, peel, garlic and ginger in small bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle over asparagus.
