The first sign of spring are simple and delicious salads. It is as if everyone is tired of all the wintery foods – stews, meats, and other heavy dishes, – and is trying to cook something light and delicious at the same time.
If you are eating healthy, a salad should always be a part of the menu. It adds more flavor to the meal, and it adds more healthy vegetables to the meal at the same time. The salad with roasted asparagus and raw grape tomatoes provides a great contrast in textures and flavors. The roasted asparagus pairs well with juicy tomatoes. The color contrast is there too – green asparagus looks great next to red tomatoes.

I have a favourite spring salad and it is also with asparagus. It’s served on a bed of baby spinach leaves, some roasted roma tomatoes, lightly steamed asparagus, then some grilled prosciutto and some shavings of parmesan and dressed with a basil dressing. The colours of the red and the green are just lovely xx
