Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, olive oil, sugar, sea salt, and sesame oil until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is emulsified. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Gently combine the blanched asparagus, feta cheese, diced tomato, green onion, and chopped cilantro in the bowl with the dressing. Toss lightly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. This chilling time enhances the overall taste and texture of the salad. (1 hour)

04

Step

Before serving, give the salad another gentle toss. Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing burst of flavors. (1 minute)

For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the asparagus before adding it to the salad. This imparts a smoky char that complements the other ingredients beautifully.
If you prefer a tangier dressing, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Conversely, a touch of honey can balance the acidity if desired.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs, such as mint or basil, to create your own unique flavor profile.

    Can I use lemon juice instead of rice vinegar?

    Make sure not to overcook the asparagus – you want it to still have a bit of a bite.
