Asparagus salad with snow peas and orange dressing
April 27th, 2023 | main dishes
Finally spring. Finally asparagus time. Actually, asparagus is a light spring vegetable, BUT what happens when it is eaten with hollandaise sauce, potatoes and ham? Well, my recipe for an asparagus salad with snow peas and orange dressing is much lighter.
My desire for asparagus is irrepressible every spring. I love asparagus. And that’s why I’ll prepare this asparagus salad when my dearest captain comes back from sea in a few days, because he loves asparagus too.
We only eat asparagus when it has been harvested by local farmers. We don’t make any compromises. Nothing from Spain, nothing from Peru or even China. It’s all the nicer when the waiting time is over and we have the noble white delicacy on our plates again.
We don’t like the classic German version with Hollandaise sauce and ham that much. We love asparagus simply fried in olive oil with Parmesan shavings and sprinkled with pepper, or an asparagus bread salad with Parma ham and Mozarella, or this asparagus salad with snow peas and orange dressing. Just try it!
Instead of snow peas, you can also use fresh or frozen peas or add ½ bunch of rocket to the salad at the very end.
