Making Delicious Easter Salad Recipes

Here are pro tips on making the best Easter salads from Williams Sonoma. They say salad mistakes are easily avoidable.

3 Common Salad Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

1. NOT DRYING LEAVES

Dry leaves with a towel or salad spinner; any water will prevent the dressing from adhering to greens, and the dressing will collect in the bottom of the bowl, making for a limp salad.

2. NOT TOSSING SALAD

It's worth hand-tossing each salad just before you eat it; this ensures consistent flavor throughout. Add in dressing a small amount at a time, re-shaking just before each use, to avoid over-dressing it.

3. NOT HITTING A RANGE OF FLAVOR AND TEXTURE NOTES

A good salad will hit multiple elements of taste (sweet, salty, sour, bitter) as well as texture (soft, creamy, crispy). Use ingredients like citrus, cruciferous greens, and avocados to achieve this.

Easter Salad: Asparagus, Mint and Pea Salad
"Combining asparagus with two kinds of peas, this beautiful salad captures the freshness of the new season. The vegetables are cooked briefly in boiling water, a technique known as blanching, and then plunged into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and preserve their bright green color. To tame the bite of the raw shallot, we toss it with a little vinegar and let stand for a few minutes before tossing the salad."
