Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the basil, parsley, lemon zest, and garlic in a bowl.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, then add the asparagus spears; cook for 2-3 minutes, depending on thickness, until crisp-tender.
  3. Immediately remove from the boiling water and plunge into a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and to preserve the beautiful, bright green color.
  4. Once they are cool, place them on a towel to pat dry.
  5. Arrange the asparagus spears on the serving platter, then add the tomato halves and mozzarella balls.
  6. Sprinkle the gremolata on top of the veggies and cheese, then drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice.
  7. Season well with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
  8. Serve and enjoy.
