This is something I would like to start my Green Theme with.
This salad reminds me of spring, mountains, morning freshness in the air.
It is a wonderful garnish for a steak or grilled fish.
INGREDIENTS
Asparagus 1 bunch
Olive Oil 4 table spoons
Lemon 1
Garlic 2 cloves
Dry mint 1 tea spoon
Dry or fresh Tarragon 1 tea spoon
And a snow flower for presentation
Start with trimming/bending the ends of the stalks.
Place the asparagus into salted boiling water.
Simmer from 4 to 7 minutes depending on how thick the stalks are.
Pour contents into a strainer
Squeeze 1 lemon and mix the juice with 4 full table spoons of olive oil, add dry mint and tarragon. Chop the garlic into tiny rings and add into the juice. The chopped garlic will bring crunchiness to the dish
The sauce will have a nice bright yellow color and will add the necessary acidity, which makes this perfect as side dish for fish
Pour the juice over the asparagus, place in a form to make a tower
To give a final look I have added a snow flower which my daughter picked from the park for me.
Lets welcome the spring now.....
