This crunchy, vibrant Spring Asparagus and Snap Pea Slaw is a great way to showcase spring vegetables like asparagus and sugar snap peas with a bright vinaigrette dressing.

I have to tell you, in the spring we put this slaw on everything. It’s delicious to eat all on its own, but it also adds crunch to salads, sandwiches, burgers, you name it. It’s a bright, lovely addition to your food in spring.
My favorite thing to put this spring asparagus and snap pea slaw on is a lamb burger. Check it out!
Ingredients You Need

- Asparagus – Cut into thin diagonal slices. Green beans or thinly sliced broccoli stems can be used as alternatives.
- Red onion – Shallots or scallions can be used for a milder flavor.
- Sugar snap peas – Cut into thin diagonal slices. Snow peas or thinly sliced bell peppers can be used as substitutes.
- Herbs – mint, parsley
- Olive oil
- Lemon juice – Lime juice or apple cider vinegar can be used as alternatives.
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Tips for Making Spring Asparagus and Snap Pea Slaw
- Keep the pieces of vegetable uniform sizes, sliced thinly, so it’s easy to eat and stays on the sandwich or burger you’re putting it on.
- We’ve used mint and parsley in this salad, but you can add any fresh herbs you like to add flavor. Try dill, lemon thyme, or tarragon.
- If you find raw red onion too potent, I recommend soaking it in water or water/sugar/vinegar for 20 minutes to tame it.
