| Sesame And Almond Asparagus Salad Recipe |
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds
- 2 cups of tender asparagus, chopped
- 2 cups arugula
- 3 sliced and toasted almonds
- Feta cheese (optional)
For the dressing:
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1/3 cup of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- 1 minced shallot
- 2 tablespoon or white or red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
I highly recommend YS Organic Pure Honey or Tabasco Mcilhenny Pure Honey when using honey especially for weight loss and health purposes.
Instructions:
Boil some water (one quart or one and a half). While you wait for the water to boil, prepare a bowl of ice cold water (this is for cooling down the asparagus).Boil the asparagus for approximately 30 seconds on high heat or boil until they are crunchy and bright green then transfer to the bowl of ice water (this helps to abruptly stop the cooking process), drain and let cool.
In a small skillet, toss the sesame seeds and almond slices then add a few pinches of salt to taste and set aside.
Whisk all the dressing ingredients together then toss the arugula and asparagus in the ingredients.
Arrange on a platter and top with sesame seeds and toasted almonds; you may also add the cheese if you prefer.
