Asparagus Salad

I admit this recipe was totally ripped off from this one

that my friend Emily brought over to my house once for a “Salad Party”. But I prefer the term “remix” to “rip off”.

It’s a beautifully simple salad and a great way to use leftover roasted asparagus

, or just roast some on purpose for this salad. Take advantage of the spring-time treat that is fresh asparagus.

If you’ve never messed around with sumac, it’s an interesting spice. It’s the dried and ground berries of a particular sumac tree and it has a woody taste but a nice, lemony scent. It’s reddish-brown and resembles red chili flakes in texture. You can find it at Middle Eastern markets. Don’t try to harvest your own, though, since other species of sumac may be poisonous.

    Since dried sumac is a major component in the herb blend za’atar, do you think this would go good with za’atar instead of ground sumac?

      YES. That would be excellent, I bet.

    These ideas for asparagus are really exciting…. my wife often bakes it with a good butter/balsamic drizzle. Your asparagus salad ideas will really add to our enjoyment of this great veggie.

    Thanks so much !!
