madbakerThis week's Resolution Recipe, which the wife actually made: Asparagus Summer Salad.
2 lbs thick asparagus, cut into 2" pieces
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
3 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup each chopped fresh basil and cilantro
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
3/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
salt and pepper
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop asparagus in and cook until bright green and softened, 1-2 minutes. Drain and shock in an ice water bath.
In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, oil, and herbs. Add the rest and stir to combine.
What worked: Easy, yummy, nice contrast of flavors and textures. A glorious meal for an 85 degree summer day.
What didn't: It was only 65 degrees out. Welcome to summer in the Bay Area.
Will I make it again? In asparagus season, hell yes.
