Spring asparagus salad with burrata and strawberries
The sun is out and spring brings along those first beautifully fresh asparagus spears. If you’ve already had your fill of classic grilled asparagus, this combination is something a little different, but it works so well.
In this salad, creamy burrata meets the crisp freshness of asparagus and the sweet-tangy taste of strawberries. Everything is nicely balanced and light, but still interesting. A hint of lemon and vinegar ties it all together and adds a refreshing lift.
This is exactly the kind of dish you make when you don’t feel like spending too much time in the kitchen, but still want something really good. It’s perfect as a starter or a light meal, especially with a glass of wine.
