Asparagus, Artichokes and Perle Sized Fresh Mozzarella
Ingredients Asparagus 
Artichoke Hearts, Canned halved Fresh Mozzarella, Perles or Perlettes Frisee, Mache or Watercress Extra Virgin Olive Oil Lemon Juice Chopped Garlic Salt and Pepper Method This is a simple Mediterranean-style salad that is very lightly dressed to let the natural flavor of the few ingredients come through. To start, trim the asparagus ends and blanch in rapidly boiling salted water for about 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to shock (stop the cooking). Drain and set aside. Drain the artichoke hearts and clean and dry your greens. If you like bitter greens use the Frisee or Watercress. If not, use the Mache. In a side bowl mix the olive oil and lemon juice at a ration of 3:1 with just touch of garlic, salt and pepper. Combine he salad ingredients with the drained cheese and dressing and serve. |
