Best Springtime Asparagus Strawberry Arugula Salad Recipes

STRAWBERRY-ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Toss 8 thinly sliced strawberries, 10 cups baby arugula and 4 ounces crumbled Parmesan in a large bowl. For the vinaigrette, whisk 1 tablespoon each Dijon mustard and sugar, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice and 1/4 cup fresh orange juice. Add 1/4 cup olive oil in a thin stream while whisking. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Toss the salad with some of the dressing and serve the rest on the side.

SPRING MIX STRAWBERRY ASPARAGUS SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil. Spread in a single layer in a greased 15x10-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
• In a large salad bowl, toss greens, strawberries, onions, pecans and asparagus.
• In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, sugar and remaining oil. Drizzle over the salad and toss to coat.

STRAWBERRY ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Add the olive oil, champagne vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt and pepper to a large serving bowl. Whisk to combine, then add the sliced onions. Stir the onions to coat them in the dressing. Let the onions marinate in the dressing until they are brighter in color and slightly softened, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add the arugula and strawberries to the bowl with the marinated onions. Toss to combine. Top with the toasted pine nuts and freshly grated Parmesan. Serve immediately.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND ARUGULA SALAD WITH SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk first 5 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in oil. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes and rewhisk before using.)
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Place asparagus spears on rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle 1/4 cup vinaigrette over and turn to coat, then spread in single layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast asparagus until just crisp-tender, about 12 minutes.
• Combine arugula, chives, and asparagus in large bowl. Add remaining vinaigrette and toss to coat. Transfer salad to platter; sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature.

STRAWBERRY-ARUGULA SALAD IN CRISPY PARMESAN CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat. Turn a muffin tin upside down and coat the bottoms with nonstick cooking spray. Form 3 (1/3-cup) mounds of Parmesan cheese on the silicone mat and pat out each to a 5-inch circle. Bake until the cheese melts and is browned and bubbly, 5 to 6 minutes. Working with one circle at a time, quickly lift each round of cheese to the muffin tin, gently pressing the edges to create a dome. Repeat the process with the remaining cheese. Set aside to cool.
• Whisk together the honey, vinegar, shallot and garlic in a small bowl. Gradually add the olive oil and whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss together the arugula, strawberries, parsley, green onions and pecans in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. To serve, place the Parmesan cups onto serving plates and divide the salad evenly among them.
