Detox Week Salad #3: Asparagus & Clementines
I don't think my husband will stay if I make yet another salad for dinner.
So, I made this one for lunch. It was healthy and light. I can feel the pounds melting away.
Clementines are in season now from Spain in those wooden crates. They are cheap, easy to peel and have no seeds! I love having them on hand in to throw in a salad.
Check out what Stephane did with his clementines. He added them to scallops.
Stacey Snacks Asparagus & Clementine Salad:
1 bunch asparagus, blanched 2 minutes and plunged into ice water to cool
2 clementines, peeled and cut into segments
1/4 red onion, sliced into slivers
Dressing:
4 tbsp orange juice (I like with extra pulp) or squeeze some clementines
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
6 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
Cut your cooked asparagus spears into diagonal 2" pieces. Toss with other ingredients and arrange on a platter. This might be nice with some toasted hazelnuts on top, but I didn't have any!

but hey, fruit is fruit, right?
My kids love those "Cuties" as they call the Clementines.

Love the clementines this time of the year and kudos to you for using them in salads and such. I think i need to go on detox too, i've been eating way too much rich foods lately.
So, did your husband get a big steak for dinner? :-)

P.S. Asparagus salad looks great to me right about now.
