Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb asparagus , cut on an angle in 1-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
1 tbsp virgin olive oil
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp fresh mint, chopped
1/2 tsp lemon zest, freshly grated
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup white beans, drained and rinsed (cooked or canned )
1/2 cup radish, thinly sliced
2 tbsp scallions, thinly sliced

Directions:

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