Spear Pressure
Enjoy the last of the season's asparagus
When you’ve overdosed on hot fun in the summertime, the only meal that sounds remotely palatable is a crisp salad. This one from the Tasting Table Test Kitchen takes the last of the season’s asparagus, steams them gently, then pairs them with cool sliced radishes, peppery arugula and a bright citrus dressing grounded with the slightest hint of miso. A few crunchy bites will rehabilitate your warm-weather weariness.
