White Asparagus Salad

White Asparagus Salad
4 from 1 ratings
This is a simple salad that celebrates spring produce. The key is to use incredibly fresh ingredients, particularly the white asparagus. White asparagus has a sweeter, less bitter flavor than green asparagus, and this minimalist recipe will really make it stand out in the dish. Asparagus can dry out if it’s left out in a supermarket or fridge, so try to find a local variety, preferably from a farmers market.
