Preparation

Step 1

Place the asparagus in a steamer basket, set over 1 1/2 inches boiling water and cover. Steam until the spears are tender-firm, 4-7 minutes depending on thickness. Drain and place in an ice water bath (or under cold, running water) for a moment to stop the cooking.

Put the olive oil, lemon juice, fresh mint, lemon zest, salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Drain asparagus.

Combine the beans, feta, radishes and scallions in a large bowl. Add the asparagus pieces. Pour on the dressing and gently toss. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
