Entries in white asparagus (1)

END OF SUMMER SALAD

Monday 08.26.13

I often find myself wandering around the produce section adding things to my cart JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE PRETTY. Does that happen to you? For instance, this white asparagus and red corn: I'd never tried either, and their counterparts (green asparagus and yellow corn) were right beside them and notably less expensive. But before I could think twice they were in my cart and on their way into my kitchen! And truth be told I'm ok with my impulsive grocery shopping habits because I now know that white asparagus has a lighter flavor and texture, which I prefer, and red corn- well, it's gorgeous and it turns out that's good enough for me. Recipe and more after the jump!
