Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup walnut pieces sub with sliced almonds, pine nuts or sunflower seeds
  • 1 lb. asparagus tough woody bottoms remove and sliced thinly on the bias
  • 4 radish sliced thinly
  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese sub with feta or omit to make dairy-free
  • lemon vinaigrette or your favorite dressing

Instructions 

  • Place the walnuts in a skillet and toast over medium or medium low heat until golden brown and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Toss them occasionally and keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

Notes

  • Pro tip:  Prep the asparagus and dressing up to 1-2 days in advance to make this recipe go even more quickly.
  • For best results, serve this cold asparagus salad immediately.
  • Raw asparagus may not be for everyone, so if you prefer it cooked, follow the instructions for blanched asparagus in my crudités platter recipe.
  • Dressing is not included in the nutrition information as it has been calculated in a separate post.
