Asparagus season
started early this year, but in case you have a source already or are
still able to find fresh asparagus at the market, try out the recipe
below:
Grilled Asparagus and Smoked Salmon Salad
The ingredients are listed without giving specific amounts. A recipe like this allows a great deal of flexibility.
Ingredients
* Asparagus, tough end snapped off
* Smoked salmon, flaked
* Washed lettuce leaves, spun dry
* Cherry tomatoes, quartered
* Capers
* Olive oil
* Mild balsamic vinegar
* Salt & pepper
Directions
Coat asparagus
lightly with olive oil and cook either on an outdoor grill or a grill
pan on the stove top until the spears show grill marks. Cool spears,
then slice diagonally and add a small amount of salt and pepper; the
salmon will be sufficiently salty. Arrange the lettuce on a plate and
place the asparagus and salmon flakes in the center. Sprinkle with a few
capers and drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the salad.
If you feel decadent, you can also use hollandaise sauce, the recipe is listed in a recipe from last year "Asparagus with Sauce Hollandaise".
Serve with slices of whole grain bread or crackers.
