Instead of making ribbons, thinly slice your asparagus on a strong bias -- this gives the raw vegetable a crisp-tender bite, and it isn't as stringy.

Ingredients

  • ½ bunch (8 ounces) asparagus

  • 1 ½ cups shelled English peas, blanched

  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves (torn, if large), plus more for serving

  • ¼ cup chopped toasted almonds, plus more for serving

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Trim asparagus. Thinly slice on a strong bias. Toss with peas, mint, almonds, oil, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, and serve, topped with more mint and almonds.
