Asparagus salad has a wonderful flavor and lasts in the fridge for quite a few days. This is a great brunch salad and goes well aside eggs and omelets; it’s also a great side to any weeknight meal.

Asparagus is one vegetable that has somewhat of a bad reputation. This unique vegetable has a flavor all its own which, for me, is hard to describe – it tastes like nothing else I’ve ever had. Agriculturally speaking, Asparagus is a 2-year crop meaning it takes two years in the garden to be able to harvest your efforts. For this reason, Asparagus fetches a premium price at the grocery store. In the spring when Asparagus is in season, we make sure to stock up – and to make plenty of Asparagus Salad!

Instructions

1. Slice the asparagus, including the tips, into thin slices, and place in a medium bowl. Add the onion and Parmesan cheese. Next add the vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss to combine.
2. The salad should be dressed an hour or two in advance of mealtime so the vinegar can tenderize the fresh asparagus and the flavors can mingle.
3. Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
