Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh asparagus trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
- 12 oz fresh mushrooms quartered (about 4 cups)
- 2 cups grape tomatoes halved
- 2 14 oz artichoke hearts canned, drained, quartered
- 1/2 cup onion chopped
Dressing
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 tablespoon sunflower oil (sub with vegetable or canola)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 garlic cloves minced
Instructions
- Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a large skillet. Add asparagus, cover & cook over medium heat until crisp-tender (about 2-3 minutes). Drain immediately & rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside on paper towels to dry.
- Combine remaining salad ingredients with asparagus in a large bowl.
- Prepare dressing by shaking ingredients in a mason jar, using an immersion blender, or by whisking in a small bowl.
- Pour dressing over vegetables and toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
Notes
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.
- This recipe used canned artichokes in water, NOT the marinated version.
- Red Wine vinegar can be substituted, see swaps here.
- If you don't have sunflower oil, substitute with vegetable or canola oil.
