Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 1 15-ounce can hearts of palm
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and trim the tough ends off your asparagus. Cut into 2-inch pieces.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and tender-crisp.
Drain the asparagus and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain again and set aside.
Drain the hearts of palm and slice them into 1/2-inch rounds.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
In a large salad bowl, combine the asparagus, hearts of palm, cherry tomatoes, and parsley.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all components are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to marinate.
Toss the salad again before serving, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
