00:00The blanched asparagus caesar took me by surprise. This was amazing. Day 39 of my salads that aren't
00:06salad series is a blanched asparagus caesar. My name's Megan. I'm a registered dietitian. Here's
00:11how you make it. I don't know how you measure asparagus. This is like 20 asparagus spears.
00:15Boil a pot of water and once it's boiling add the asparagus for exactly one minute and then
00:19quickly transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water. This stops the cooking process and helps
00:23to keep the asparagus really bright green. You know the drill. Make my Greek yogurt caesar dressing.
00:28I saw these radishes at Whole Foods and I thought these would add such a nice color so I'm adding
00:31some sliced radishes. A couple extra dollops of dressing. My whole wheat homemade breadcrumb
00:36croutons. Some shredded parmesan and some chives and that's it. Full recipe in the caption.
00:41Give this one a try and follow for more.
