Ingredients
For the dressing:
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
For the salad:
- 9 radishes, halved or quartered
- Dash of extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to season
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
- 4 red radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 can (15.5-ounce) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
- 1 tablespoon capers
- Handful flat-leaf parsley, rough chopped
- 3 tablespoons shaved Parmesan, optional
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the dressing. In a medium bowl whisk together the lemon juice, zest, oregano, garlic, mustard, salt and pepper. Once combined, continue to whisk and add the olive oil until fully emulsified. Set aside.
- Toss the halved or quartered radishes with olive oil and add some salt and pepper.
- Place the radishes on the baking sheet and roast in the oven for approximately 12 minutes until they are soft but with a bit of crunch. Remove from oven and let cool.
- Fill a large pot with water and place over high heat to bring water to a boil. On the side, fill a large bowl with cold water and ice.
- Place the asparagus in the boiling water for approximately 2 minutes (until bright green) and transfer to the cold water bowl to chill for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the asparagus and pat dry. Cut the asparagus on the bias into 2-inch pieces.
- In a large bowl, toss the roasted radishes, asparagus, sliced radishes, garbanzo beans, pine nuts, capers, parsley and Parmesan.
- Lightly drizzle the salad with the lemon dressing and toss, adding more dressing until the salad is coated.
- Season to taste with more salt and pepper, if desired.
