Ingredients
 

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 9 oz (250 g) green asparagus
  • 9 oz (250 g) white asparagus see notes
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 cup (200 g) strawberries quartered
  • 2 cups (50 g) rocket
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil chopped
  • 1 tbsp pine nuts toasted

Dressing

Instructions
 

  • Wash the asparagus, trim the woody ends, and peel the white asparagus up to the head. Green asparagus does not need to be peeled.
  • Cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces (depending on the thickness/size of the asparagus, I cut them into 4-6 pieces).
  • Heat a skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add white asparagus and sauté for 5 minutes. Add green asparagus and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes. Season with ½ teaspoon of sugar, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Continue to sauté the asparagus for another 2 minutes.
  • Combine all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
  • In a bowl, toss warm asparagus with about 1 tablespoon of the dressing. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the dressing.
  • Wash the strawberries and cut them into quarters. Add them with the fresh basil to the salad. Toss well.
  • Arrange rocket on a serving platter. Place the tossed salad on top, sprinkle with toasted pine nuts, and drizzle with the remaining dressing.

Notes

Asparagus: You can easily make prepare this recipe with only green asparagus if you can't find white asparagus in your country.
Dressing: If you are a crazy strawberry lover, use this Strawberry Vinaigrette!
Leftovers: This salad doesn't store well because of the rocket and strawberries and should be consumed within a day.
