🥗 Asparagus Tomato Salad with Burrata Cheese

Ingredients (4 servings)

• 1 bunch fresh asparagus (trimmed)

• 2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp balsamic glaze (or balsamic vinegar reduction)

• 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)

• Salt & black pepper, to taste

• 2 balls fresh burrata cheese

• Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

• Flaky sea salt (optional, for finishing)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Asparagus:

   • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

   • Blanch asparagus for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp.

   • Transfer immediately to an ice bath to keep the bright green color. Drain well.

2. Assemble the Salad:

   • On a serving platter, arrange asparagus and halved cherry tomatoes.

   • Drizzle with olive oil, balsamic glaze, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic (if using).

3. Add the Burrata:

   • Place burrata balls on top of the salad.

   • Gently tear them open so the creamy inside spills over the veggies.

4. Garnish & Serve:

   • Add fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

   • Serve immediately with crusty bread for scooping.
