Asparagus Salad with Sesame Vinaigrette
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
1
Combine the rice vinegar, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and mustard in a bowl. Stir until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Gradually add the peanut oil and sesame oil to the bowl while stirring rapidly, ensuring a thorough emulsification. Set the dressing aside.
2
Next, fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a rolling boil. Carefully add the asparagus to the boiling water, cooking for 3-5 minutes or until it reaches your desired level of tenderness. It should still retain some firmness, but be cooked through. Remove the asparagus from the water with a slotted spoon and immediately submerge it in an ice bath to halt any further cooking.
3
Transfer the asparagus to a large serving container and pour the prepared dressing over it. Gently toss the asparagus until it is evenly coated with the sauce. Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of sesame seeds on top to add texture and flavor to your dish.
