Ingredients
- 1 lb strawberries hulled
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 1/2 cup walnut halves
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- spinach or spring greens; fresh
Instructions
- Preheat grill to 300F. If using charcoal, pile coals on two sides of the grill, leaving the middle for indirect heat cooking.
- Place strawberries on indirect heat to begin the slow cooking. Turn them a few times, but mostly just let them slowly cook and transform over about 30 minutes.
- Trim the asparagus, leaving 3 inch tips. Skewer the tips about halfway up the stalk with a bamboo or metal skewer. You can pile on about 8 or so. Brush lightly with olive oil.
- Grill asparagus quickly over direct heat, about 3-5 minutes (grills will vary). You want to get a little charring on them, but not cook them completely. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Throw walnuts into a pie pan or grill pan and toast them over the grill as well. Cool.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic, maple syrup, salt and pepper until emulsified.
- Pile spring greens high in a large salad bowl. Arrange grilled asparagus and toasted walnuts on top.
- Just before serving, add grilled strawberries to the salad and drizzle with vinaigrette. Serve at once.
Notes
- Pine nuts would be delicious in place of the walnuts. Slivers of red onion are also a great additional topping.
