Easy Asparagus Salads

The Problem

Either bland or overseasoned, mushy or nearly raw, this first-course tease can prove to be an unsatisfying encounter.

The Goal

The Solution

Quickly sauté and brown the asparagus over high heat to enrich flavor, and add bold flavors for a zesty dressing. Add nuts, beans, cheese, or hard-cooked eggs to make the salads more substantial as well as flavorful.
