Grilled asparagus served on avocado toast with a drizzle of creamy miso and tahini dressing. Heaven!
Asparagus season is very short in the UK, so let’s try to make the best of it while we can. Check out my asparagus recipe selection for more inspiration.
This recipe is perfect for lunch, brunch or as a light snack. The miso and tahini dressing pairs so well with the grilled asparagus. If you have any leftovers, try drizzling some dressing on top of other grilled vegetables.
How to make these asparagus & avocado miso toasts
While the asparagus are roasting in the oven, you can prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Packed with umami, the creamy dressing is made by whisking together miso, tahini, lemon juice and grated garlic.
One word of caution though! Do not add any additional salt as the miso makes the dressing already quite salty.
I use Yukata organic miso paste for the dressing. It is really tasty and versatile and works really well here. Any other yellow or white miso is of course suitable. If you are not sure about the taste, make the dressing with half the quantity of miso listed in the recipe below and add more as needed.
For the avocado toast, you can simply mash half an avocado on each slice of sourdough with a fork.
Toppings are optional but nice: chopped coriander, black sesame seeds, pink peppercorn and radishes. Enjoy!
