A delightful change of pace from hot vegetable side dishes, this lovely asparagus salad gets an Asian twist with a simple marinade and sesame seeds. Once you try it, you'll serve it time and again. -Linda Hutton, Hayden, Idaho Ingredients:
1 pound asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 tablespoon white vinegar |
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar |
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, cook the asparagus in a small amount of water until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain well and place in a large bowl.
2. Combine the soy sauce, oil, vinegar, sugar, sesame seeds, ginger and cumin; pour over asparagus and toss to coat. Cover and chill for 1 hour. Drain before serving. Yield: 4 servings.
