Fresh Balsamic Asparagus Salad
This is a very tasty fresh salad, crisp and tangy! I love this stuff. :)
Steps
Trim the asparagus and cut into 1-inch pieces.
Thinly slice the mushrooms.
Simmer the asparagus in 1 / 2 cup of water with a pinch of salt until it is tender.
While the asparagus is simmering , whisk the lemon juice , vinegar , dijon mustard , and garlic together.
Gradually add the olive oil and then the black pepper.
Once you have drained the asparagus and let it cool , gently toss it with half of the dressing to coat it well.
Toss the remaining dressing with the basil and the mushrooms , and sprinkle the mixture over the asparagus.
Season to taste with salt , garnish with freshly grated parmesan or mizithra cheese , and serve.
