Makes: 6 servings (as a side salad)
Ingredients
- 1 lb. asparagus (purchase thick stalks if you can)
- 3 cups arugula
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 2 cups cooked quinoa (cooled)
- ¼ cup shaved parmesan
Orange Vinaigrette
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Shave asparagus: Chop off the tough ends from asparagus stalks. If you want, also cut the tips off and set them aside to use as garnish. Using a vegetable peeler and starting at the end of the asparagus, peel asparagus from end to end into long ribbons. It helps if you hold the asparagus down on a cutting board to stabilize it.
- Assemble Salad: Put asparagus ribbons in a large salad bowl. Also add arugula, sliced strawberries, cooked quinoa, and shaved parmesan (save a few slivers to garnish salad with). Drizzle dressing on and toss salad well.
- Garnish salad with asparagus tips and parmesan slivers if desired.
Orange Vinaigrette
- Add all ingredients to a small jar, cover and shake well. If you don't have a jar, you can add ingredients to a small bowl and whisk together.
