Summer – the season of delicious salads. For me, salad season is year round. I love salads. I love that they can complete a meal or BE a meal. I love the flexibility and endless possibilities they offer. This asparagus ribbon salad is the crown jewel of all salads. She’s a classy gal. She’s not only beautiful but she has depth and character. She is certainly is a head-turner. A long list of ingredients isn’t needed when that list includes asparagus, beets and burrata. If you’re not familiar with burrata, you need to head on over to your grocery list and add it to the items you want to purchase. It’s solid fresh mozzarella on the outside, but when you break it open, you find a mixture of mozzarella and cream. It has a soft texture that’s perfect for this salad everything. The creamy center of the burrata mixes with the asparagus ribbons and the beets. You hardly need dressing but I like to use one of my favorites – a combination of vinegar, olive oil (of course), Dijon and honey. It’s the perfect combo of sweet and tangy. If you don’t feel like messing with a vinaigrette (but it is really easy), this salad would be perfectly tasty with a splash of vinegar and oil with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Do you know what you’re having for lunch yet? I can think of one thing that’s sounding pretty great. PS: If you need it, I have a tutorial on how to roast beets. Don’t forget to watch the video for this recipe.
