Take advantage of Quebec asparagus. When it’s in season (May-June), they’re completely mind-blowing: tender, sweet, fresh, with no comparison to the imported asparagus we find the rest of the year. It’s a short season, so we have to make the most of it. This salad is my favorite way to celebrate them: grilled quickly on the BBQ to keep their crunch, mixed with walnuts, crumbled feta and a lemon-shallot-oregano vinaigrette. Mind-blowing, period.<\/p>\n
It’s BBQ season starting and I absolutely needed a super fresh summer version to accompany all my grilled meats. This salad comes at just the right time. Light, crunchy, lemony, ready in 15 minutes and assembled directly on the BBQ while your main protein rests. It’s the perfect accompaniment to bring together summer flavors: you get your Quebec asparagus from the market, you fire up your BBQ, and you’re good to go. Mind-blowing with pretty much any grilled meat. Chicken, lamb, pork, ribs.<\/p>\n
What makes this salad really special is the marriage between the creamy-salty feta, the zest and lemon juice that bring the citrus brightness, the fresh dill and parsley that give the spring herb layer, and the walnuts that bring the nutty crunch. Add the vinaigrette with French shallot and dried oregano that ties it all together. It’s a flavor explosion with every bite. I love the feta, I love the lemony side, I love grilled asparagus, I love walnuts. All that mixed together is just insane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
