Method
- Begin by preparing the asparagus. In a cooking pot, bring water to a boil. Add the asparagus pieces and blanch for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and tender but still crisp. Drain and quickly transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby spinach, arugula, and the drained kidney beans. Add the blanched asparagus.
- Pour the tahini dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together until well coated.
- Transfer the salad to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh dill and sprinkle with additional cracked black pepper. If desired, top with toasted nuts or crumbled feta cheese for added flavor and texture.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, tangy delight!
