Nice to meet you here. I’m new to your website. I wonder what is the difference between the category “salad” & “pasta salad”?

Thanks!

Tastes like summer in a bowl! I’ll definitely be making it again!

Add the dressing at time of eating, yes!

Bought “skinny” asparagus & shaved it raw with a peeler. A bit of work, but delicious. Even my 4 yr old thought it was fantastic. The only thing I would change is a note to add the cashews fresh and not put them in the fridge with the leftovers…..better crunchy than mushy:-). Thanks for an inspiring spring recipe!

Maybe next time I need to get a ton done, I’ll hide a chocolate bar from myself, then not open it till I’m done 😉

Did you consider subbing cashews for garbanzo beans? Feta also sounds like a lovely add to this recipe. Can’t wait to try!

I live 30 minutes away from a little grocery store and 50 minutes from a “big” grocery store so I have gotten really good at making ingredient substitutions. I look at recipes as guidelines/great ideas and often tweak a recipe in some way anyhow, whether adding more seasoning or adding a little more or less of something- I guess I’m a bit of a rebel and am not into being “exact”. It usually turns out great in the end and it’s not like I have a “recipe police” checking if I followed a recipe exactly. I too am very excited about getting the spiralizer in the mail soon.

Now, this is totally different (but exactly the same!?) I am Scottish in my ancestry, and I was married with a piper and I wore my Clan’s colors in a kilt. My wife and I both ‘dressed up’ for that day, almost 25 years ago. And, because the kilt had to be made in Scotland, and I had ordered it in Canada (we lived in upstate NY at the time) when the package arrived with my kilt, sporran, jacket, etc. did I wait? Heck, no! (I had to see if I still fit the darn thing!) So, your choice on that dress box thing… just sayin’…. as a guy. LOL

Now, as to this recipe. Dill, cucumber, and summer are my three favorite flavors. You could also add cooked garbanzo beans instead of the cashews, if you didn’t want the nuts. I’m still waiting to get my machine, even though I ordered it last month (harrumph) but when it gets here, the family is having a LOT of inspiralized meals. Boy, these look good.

Congrats, By the way, on the upcoming wedding, etc. God bless.

🙂 I was only confused b/c some people peel the outer layer off of asparagus and discard. Could have meant any number of things. Ali rocks tho… and her recipes!!!

No problem, Ali – we didn’t mean to bust your chops so much, I was only confused and didn’t mean to question your recipe. Sorry our asparagus comments annoyed some people. I will limit my questions in the future.

Whatever Kleinfeld’s says to do! 🙂
