Asparagus Brocolini Salad

Here is a very simple recipe for you this month. While at the market with Dana I purchased a bunch of Asparagus, Brocolini, Radishes, and with a few things I had on hand at home and made a great salad.

Recipe:

Asparagus (about 8 spears)

Brocolini (7-8 flowerets)

Olive Oil

Radishes (7-8 small)

Lemon (Zest and Juice)

Shallot (small)

Pine nuts (1/4 cup)

Dash of Salt

Cut the Asparagus and Brocolini into small pieces about the size of the tip of your finger. Make sure it is well cleaned and set aside.

Slice up the shallot (small size will do), and mix with the juice of one lemon, a dash of salt and 1/4 cup of pine nuts. Set Aside.

Heat up a skillet - very hot - add a dash of Olive Oil. Put the Aspurgus and Brocolini in the pan with a dash of salt. toss well and heat for about a minute. The veggies should take a dark crisp color. Cover and heat for about another minute making sure when you test the veggies it still has a good bite to it. Add the lemon zest and stir in thinly sliced radishes.

Toss the mixture together with your salad dressing and enjoy.
