Spring-Inspired Asparagus and Strawberry Salad

Hello, friends! Today, I want to share a light and refreshing recipe that celebrates the vibrant flavors of spring. This asparagus and strawberry salad is the perfect dish to enjoy on a warm day, whether you’re having a picnic in the park or hosting a casual brunch with friends.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • fresh asparagus (250g), trimmed
  • ripe strawberries (150g), sliced
  • feta cheese (100g), crumbled
  • walnuts (50g), toasted
  • red onion (1/2), thinly sliced
  • fresh mint leaves (a handful), torn
  • extra-virgin olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • honey (1 tablespoon)
  • sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Prepare your kitchen tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • medium saucepan

Begin by blanching the asparagus in a medium saucepan of boiling water for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, slice the asparagus into bite-sized pieces.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced asparagus, strawberries, crumbled feta cheese, toasted walnuts, sliced red onion, and torn mint leaves.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper to create the dressing. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Serve the asparagus and strawberry salad immediately, or refrigerate for a couple of hours to allow the flavors to meld together.

This refreshing salad weighs approximately 560g in total and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 140g, with an estimated calorie count of 200 per portion.

A unique tip for this salad is to add a sprinkle of sumac over the top before serving for an extra burst of tangy flavor that complements the sweetness of the strawberries.

I hope you enjoy making and eating this delightful spring salad. Feel free to customize it with your favorite seasonal ingredients and make it your own. Happy cooking!
