I served the pizzettes with a simple arugula, asparagus, and tomato salad with lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper for the dressing.
Lemony Asparagus, Arugula, Tomato Salad
Ingredients
- 2 bunches of asparagus
- 3/4 bag of arugula from trader joe's (precise, huh?)
- 2 tomatoes of your choice, cut into wedges (I used yellow farmers market tomatoes)
- Juice of 1 large lemon
- 1 tbsp EVOO
- Pot of boiling water with 1 tsp salt
- Ice bath
- 1 tsp. coarse salt
- fresh ground pepper to taste
Directions
- Trim woody ends off of asparagus (I leave the rubber band on and just move it to the end so I don't have to pick up all the tiny pieces of asparagus. Then put a rubber band around the good parts off the asparagus for easy handling while blanching.)
- Blanch the asparagus in salted boiling water for about 10 seconds. It will turn bright green. Immediately remove and shock in an ice bath to stop the cooking.
- Cut cooled asparagus into 2" pieces.
- In a large bowl, toss asparagus, arugula, and tomato with lemon juice, EVOO, salt, and pepper to taste
Leave the rubber band on when cutting off |
Weirdest lemon ever. |
Re-rubber band for easy handling in the hot water. |
Left: blanched. Right: raw. See the diff? |
I squeeze over a fine strainer to avoid seeds. |
Fresh and flavorful! |
Clearly we hated the entire meal:
To the dog park I go! Happy Friday!
