Raw Asparagus Salad

Published: February 1, 2009

It's Super Bowl Sunday! Which usually means a gluttonous dose of spicy chicken wings, greasy BBQ meatballs, and cheesy nachos. If you're looking for some healthier options this year, or just want to add some fresh vegetables to the mix, this asparagus salad is sure to score a touchdown.
I know raw asparagus doesn't fall in the conventional football food category, but give this underdog a chance. If you like asparagus cooked, you'll love it raw! It's sweet, delicate and crisp - and best of all it won't give you heartburn like those chicken wings. Simply julienne the spears (or slice them in ribbons with a vegetable peeler), toss them in a light vinaigrette, and pile high on a plate. If nothing else people will try it out of sheer curiosity. I bet they'll like it too.
For the recipe go to Foodista.

Sounds delicious, and great photo, Mr. B.

I love the idea of a fresh almost shaved asparagus salad. You could do a citrus vinaigrette or a bacon one (I guess that would add in all the fat you tried to eliminate for super bowl). I think superbowl just means "food day" plain and simple.

This looks delicious! I’m not a raw vegan, but I’m trying to incorporate more raw veggies into my diet. I’m also a bit of a hummus addict, so this seems like it could help with that a little! Thanks for sharing.

Gah! Sorry about the last post-I am trying to tell several people that I've posted their recipes to y blog while holding a kicking 2-year-old and I published this before I revised my cut-n-paste comment :(
Anyway, what I *wanted* to say is that I love asparagus, but have never tried it raw. This looks so simple and delicious. I have posted it to my raw veggie link party:
