Reviews
I made this salad for Easter and it was delicious. Everyone loved it.
loved it but less garlic
The garlic was too overpowering. If I made it again, I would reduce the garlic but other than that, it was easy and tasty.
How do you think it would be by substituting green beans?
I was a little unsure when I went to make this salad …. but I am SO glad I did. This was just great!!!!
Amazing!!!! Easy and a must try! This is now my favorite veggie to make. Don’t hesitate just make this, you won’t regret it!
MelissaMae you use a potato peeler from just below the tops of the asparagus to the end in an effort to make the thick base of the asparagus stem all the same width for more even cooking and uniform size asparagus stalks
Serious question: How do you peel asparagus? I missed show and there is no video with recipe and I haven’t ever heard of, or know how to, peel asparagus. Hope someone can help me with this as I would love to try this recipe!
This was awesome. Made it last night. Followed recipe and it turned out perfect.
This is not a salad, it’s asparagus with garlic, walnuts, and parmesan cheese.
