Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, asparagus does a body super good. Cooked correctly, your taste buds will sing its praises! Globally, cultures value it for its reputed natural aphrodisiac powers, and you’ll find it in grocery stores in February – perfect for Valentine’s Day dining.
This savory salad makes a superb side dish, pictured here with a medium-rare, pan-seared Ahi tuna steak.
Ingredients:
(Accommodate the following amounts to your serving needs. All ingredients are available from 17th Street Market, 840 E. 17th St.)
Asparagus
Mixed Garden Greens
Balsamic Cream
Goat Cheese
Almonds
Butter
Salt
Make little balls of goat cheese and roll them in crushed almonds. Sauté the asparagus in butter and salt until it turns a rich green color; test it for firm succulence. Once cooked, set aside to cool down. Toss the mixed greens with balsamic cream, add the asparagus and top with the almond cheese balls.
