INGREDIENTS
For Salad
- 8 oz baby asparagus, blanched
- 8 oz salad mix, rinsed & dried
- 8-10 oz strawberries, hulled and stems removed
- 2 plum, or sub nectarine, medium sliced
- 2 kumato tomatoes, cut into sectors/chunks
- A handful of toasted or caramelized pecans or sub with walnuts
- 1-2 tablespoon pepitas/pumpkin seeds
- 4 oz feta or goat cheese or similar texture, crumbled
Salad Dressing
- 1 medium lemon, freshly squeezed juice
- 2 teaspoon maple syrup
- Himalayan salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoon olive oil or more, personal preference!
INSTRUCTIONS
- Whisk all the salad dressing ingredients in a small bowl or glass jar. Set aside.
- Blanch asparagus. If using baby asparagus and not regular, take a medium or small saucepan and fill with water, enough to cover the asparagus later. Add salt and take it to a boil. Reduce the heat and lower the asparagus into the water. Cook on medium heat for 3 minutes, remove the asparagus with kitchen tongs and place into ice-cold water.
- Salad assemble. In individual plates or one large serving platter, layer lettuce, tomatoes, plums, strawberries, asparagus. Top with feta cheese. Drizzle with salad dressing and sprinkle toasted pecans and some pepitas. Enjoy a glass of white wine (or red) in the garden!
