Asparagus and Mandarin Orange Salad

Asparagus and Mandarin Orange Salad
  • 1 pound thin asparagus spears
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (12 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, or more to taste
  • 5 kalamata olives, or to taste


  1. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water until cold to stop the cooking process. Drain.
  2. Boil balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan until reduced to 1/3 the original amount, about 5 minutes. Pour reduced vinegar into a bowl and whisk olive oil into vinegar; set aside until cool, about 10 minutes. Add asparagus, onion, tomatoes, and olives to vinegar mixture and toss to coat.
