How to Serve Pickled Asparagus (5 Steps)

Pickled asparagus adds a fresh, peppery flavor to anything from antipasto plates to sandwiches, fresh pasta or soup. Since pickled asparagus is cooked, it can be served cold or heated and added to any recipe that’s just aching to have a little bit of extra tart and tangy green goodness. Pickled asparagus pairs well with a wide variety of flavors, so don’t be afraid to experiment.

Instructions

  1. Chill pickled asparagus thoroughly and serve it in place of the celery in a bloody Mary.

  2. Arrange pickled asparagus on a plate with hard-boiled egg wedges, prosciutto, bocconcini mozzarella, mixed olives and hot, crusty bread for a fresh, light brunch or luncheon dish.

  3. Chop pickled asparagus and toss it with hot fettuccine. Add marinated mushrooms, cooked chicken, black olives and shaved Parmesan for a sophisticated take on pasta primavera.

  4. Add diced, pickled asparagus to your favorite mushroom and spinach quiche recipe to give it a little kick.

  5. Roll shaved turkey or roast beef, Havarti cheese and pickled asparagus in a wrap or tortilla and add thin tomato wedges for a healthy, tangy snack.
