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.

Place the asparagus, radish, arugula, goat cheese and walnuts in a large bowl.

Add the desired amount of lemon vinaigrette and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Shock Your Asparagus 🧊
Blanch asparagus for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp, then immediately plunge into ice water to stop cooking and preserve vibrant green color and crisp texture.
Toast Walnuts for Maximum Crunch 🥜
Lightly toast walnut pieces in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding to release their oils and intensify their nutty flavor, elevating the entire salad.
Emulsify Your Vinaigrette 🫒
Whisk the lemon vinaigrette vigorously with a touch of mustard or honey to create an emulsion that clings better to the delicate greens and asparagus.
Dry Your Greens Thoroughly 💧
Use a salad spinner to completely dry baby arugula after washing—excess moisture dilutes the vinaigrette and prevents proper coating of the leaves.
Assemble Just Before Serving ⏱️
Dress and compose your salad no more than 5 minutes before serving to keep asparagus crisp and greens from wilting under the acidic vinaigrette.
