Tasty Tuesday I Asparagus Salad with Radish

Makes - 4 servings

Prep time - 15 minutes

Ingredients 

 One bunch of asparagus

2 tablespoons vinegar ( I prefer balsamic, but you can use white too)

1 tablespoon soy sauce ( if you prefer to reduce salt in your diet skip this)

2 tablespoon oil ( I like grape seed oil, but you can use coconut, olive, avocado )

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1 teaspoon grated ginger

1 teaspoon grated garlic

1 big bunch of radishes

1 cup of sliced onion

Preparation 

Fill a medium sauce pan with a ice cold water and second pan fill with 3 cm water and bring to a boil.

Slice asparagus in pieces you prefer ( I like smaller pieces, because it is easier to cover them with sauce and seasonings.

Boil asparagus for about 2 minutes or until tender crisp and transfer them into ice water.

When asparagus is cooled down drain them well.

Combine vinegar, soy sauce, oil ginger and garlic in a large bowl. 

Add the asparagus, thinly sliced radish and onion in bowl and toss to combine.

Serve well refrigerated.
