Asparagus & Radishes with Mint

By garciamoss

Ingredients

• 1 pound asparagus
• 1/2 tablespoon butter or olive oil
• 4 ounces radishes (5 to 8 medium to large radishes)
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoons rice vinegar
• Flaky salt and freshly-ground black pepper
• 1/4 loosely-packed cup fresh mint leaves, stems removed

Preparation

Step 1

Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and cut each stalk into 1-inch pieces. Heat the butter or oil in a large sauté pan over high heat and cook the asparagus for 2 to 3 minutes, until it's warmed through and tender but still crisp.

Slice the radishes into thin rounds using a mandoline or sharp chefs knife. Toss with the asparagus in a large bowl.

Whisk together the olive oil and vinegar. Pour over the vegetables and toss. Season generously with flaky salt and black pepper. Slice the mint leaves very fine and toss them with the vegetables.

This can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours before serving. Serve cold or at room temperature.
