Ingredients

Vinaigrette:

Salad:

  • 2 pounds asparagus, ends trimmed
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, cut into pieces
  • 3 large carrots, shredded (about 2 cups)
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed

Directions

To prepare the oregano vinaigrette: In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Slowly add oil, whisking constantly to emulsify. Set aside.

To prepare the salad: To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of water to a boil, then drop the asparagus spears in for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on their size. Remove from the water and "shock" them briefly in a bath of ice water to stop the cooking and preserve the green color. Drain thoroughly. Repeat the same process with blanching the green beans, cooing a little longer, about 5 to 7 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine the carrots, black beans, and green beans. Toss together until well mixed. Drizzle with half the Oregano Vinaigrette and mix thoroughly.

Place a small pile of salad mix in the center of 6 small plates. Build a campfire stack by arranging 4 or 5 asparagus spears leaning against each other over the salad. Drizzle a little vinaigrette on each stack and serve.

If taking to a picnic, keep salad mix and vinaigrette separate until ready to serve, then mix and plate.

    Different but good and a great summer salad. I feel the salad could use something more. The asparagus is yummy but so large that you hunt for the little beans. It will be fun to experiment.
