Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Blanch Fresh Asparagus

To blanch fresh asparagus, add the spears to a large pot of boiling water. Cook, uncovered, for 2 to 3 min. Drain, then immediately plunge the asparagus into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When completely cool, drain and pat dry.

Made this fast, easy and delicious salad last evening. We all love asparagas. I blanched the asparagas, added tomatos and thin sliced carrots to add color and crunch.

Served it at a dinner party last night and everyone thought it was one of the best salads they had eaten. I used the mandarin oranges and also added grape tomotoes for color.

Quick and great as is, but I added a few chicken strips and some black olives for a variation.

Very good salad. Refreshing and different. Also easy to make. I used a small can of mandarin oranges and it was great.
