No-fuss asparagus for food adventurers
Barton Seaver is an explorer, but he doesn't spend his time climbing mountains. As a chef, he has traveled the world as a food explorer. Seaver joined forces with National Geographic to share his knowledge and last fall published "National Geographic Kids Cookbook: A Year-Round Fun Food Adventure."
The book is focused on cooking and eating based on the calendar. Each month brings recipes that reflect celebrations, activities and seasonal foods. KidsPost tried Seaver's Italian Asparagus Salad.
Asparagus, which is readily available now, is a welcome alternative to the frozen veggies you may have been eating over the winter. If you have never tasted it, consider yourself a food explorer and give the striking stalks - and this easy recipe that comes together with 20 minutes of hands-on time - a try.
