Ingredients
Salad:
- 8 ounces asparagus
- 1 pint Cherry or grape tomatoes
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella balls drained if in water
- 6 basil leaves julienned
- Optional chopped chives and blossoms for garnish
Dressing (see note):
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Snap off or peel the woody ends of the asparagus and steam, covered, until just short of tender, 3-5 minutes. Keep warm in covered pan.
- While asparagus steams, whisk together the dressing ingredients.
- Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Julienne the basil by rolling up a few leaves, then cutting into thin slices. Unroll.
- Cut the asparagus into half inch pieces, and place in mixing bowl with the cherry tomatoes and basil. Toss with the dressing.
- Add mozzarella balls, toss again and serve, optionally garnished with chopped chives and chive blossoms.
Notes
- If you're in a hurry just use your favorite vinaigrette instead of making the one here.
