Preparation Cook Total
10 minutes 10 minutes 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 cup crab meat
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Asparagus: Begin by preparing the fresh asparagus. Steam or boil the asparagus spears for approximately 5 minutes, or until they turn a vibrant green color and are tender but still crisp. Once cooked, immediately transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking process, ensuring they retain their bright green color and crisp texture (this process is called blanching).

  2. Prepare Dressing: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until they form a smooth and creamy dressing.

  3. Combine Ingredients: After the asparagus has been blanched and cooled, cut the spears in half lengthwise. In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched asparagus spears with the crab meat. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the crab and asparagus, gently folding the mixture together until the ingredients are evenly coated.

  4. Chill or Serve: Once the salad is assembled, refrigerate it for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to chill. Alternatively, you can serve it immediately for a fresh and crisp texture.

  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle the Crab and Asparagus Salad with sesame seeds for added flavor and texture, if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in every bite!

This Crab and Asparagus Salad is not only quick and easy to prepare but also bursting with fresh flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. Whether served as a light lunch, a refreshing appetizer, or a flavorful side dish, this salad is sure to impress! So, gather your ingredients and give this recipe a try for a delightful culinary experience that will leave you craving more. 🥗🦀
