This vegan Strawberry Asparagus Salad<\/strong> is one of those salad recipes that instantly feels like spring or summer on a plate \u2014 raw green asparagus, quinoa, ripe strawberries, and a punchy shallot vinaigrette. Colorful, fresh, and ready in under 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the longest time, I had no idea you could eat green asparagus raw. I wouldn't recommend just munching on a spear like a carrot \u2014 but this shaved asparagus salad<\/strong> is a game changer: thin ribbons of raw asparagus bring a fresh, slightly nutty flavor and exactly the kind of satisfying crunch a great salad needs. No cooking, no steaming \u2014 just as it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And the combination with strawberries<\/strong>? Asparagus and strawberries don't just share the same season \u2014 they're surprisingly complementary in flavor too. The subtle bitterness of the asparagus meets the fruity sweetness of the strawberries, all brought together by a tangy shallot vinaigrette. It just works. The result: a raw asparagus salad that tastes like spring<\/strong> or summer.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n (For exact quantities, see the recipe card below.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n This quinoa asparagus salad comes together in about 30 minutes<\/strong>. Start with the quinoa \u2014 it takes the longest. Then it's just the dressing, asparagus, strawberries, and nuts, and you're done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This vegan asparagus salad<\/strong> with strawberries is best served immediately \u2014 the sliced strawberries and asparagus ribbons will start to oxidize over time, and the salad greens will wilt once the dressing is added. If you want a cold asparagus salad<\/strong>, make sure the quinoa is fully cooled before assembling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the best results, assemble everything just before serving<\/strong> and add the dressing at the very last moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For meal prep:<\/strong> The quinoa and the dressing can both be made a day ahead. Prep the asparagus and strawberries ideally on the day of serving.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Yes! Raw green asparagus is perfectly digestible and has a fresh, slightly nutty flavor. The key is to shave it into thin ribbons or slice it very finely \u2014 that way it's wonderfully tender in a salad. <\/p> <\/div> The quinoa and the dressing can be prepared in advance. It's best to assemble the salad itself just before serving\u2014otherwise, the greens will get soggy.<\/p> <\/div> White asparagus is better lightly cooked \u2014 it's less digestible raw. But blanched or steamed briefly and cut into pieces, it would certainly work well in a salad too.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n Don't want to miss anything?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
