White asparagus are more popular in Europe than in North America. These milder spears are mulched to avoid exposure to sunlight and remain a beautiful ivory hue. You can serve the asparagus hot or chilled in this simple, attractive Spanish-style salad.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (500 g) white asparagus
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) sherry vinegar or wine vinegar
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) finely chopped roasted sweet red pepper
Preparation
Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Peel stalks to tips. Boil in salted water until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and place on serving dish. Meanwhile, mix vinegar with salt until salt is dissolved; whisk in oil. Stir in sweet pepper and spoon over asparagus.
