Asparagus and Tomato Caprese Salad with Burrata and Herbs
Ingredients
- 4 medium heirloom tomatoes, sliced thin
- 2 tbsp loosely packed basil, sliced into thin ribbons
- 1 bunch asparagus, woody ends trimmed
- 8 oz burrata cheese
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Bring a saucepan with water to a boil and prepare an ice bath. Once the water is boiling, add the asparagus and quickly blanch for 1 minute. Remove asparagus from stove and immediately submerge in ice bath. This stops the asparagus from continuing to cook and will leave them tender yet crunchy.
- On a platter, neatly arrange the tomatoes. Loosely tear the burrata into 8 pieces and scatter around the platter. Top with asparagus. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and basil. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
