Asparagus Salad with Jamón Serrano and Mini Buffalo Mozzarella

The earthiness of asparagus, creaminess of buffalo Mozzarella and the saltiness of Jamón Serrano work wonders together. This salad can be served either hot or cold, so it’s a good one to have up your sleeve for the asparagus season. The heat destroy the purple pigment, so purple asparagus will eventually lose its colour and turn into deep green. So no worries, if you can't find purple asparagus, simply use the green one. Jamón Serrano can be a bit pricey, iuse normal ham if you want to.

 
  • 800 g Asparagus (I used white and purple), trimmed and cut into 3cm pieces
  • 3 tbsp White wine vinegar
  • 5 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Maple syrup
  • Sea salt and black pepper
  • 200 g Mini Buffalo Mozzarella
  • 100-150 g Jamón Serrano (or normal ham)
  • 50 g Sundried tomatoes
  • Basil leaves
  1. Peel the white asparagus with a vegetable peeler. Cut off the fibrous ends on both varieties and cut into quarters lengthwise. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the asparagus for 3 minutes. Before draining the asparagus, reserve 100 ml of the cooking water and set aside.
  2. Combine the cooking water with white wine vinegar, olive oil and maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the asparagus with the dressing.
  3. Drain the Mozzarella and cut the dried tomatoes in smaller slices.
  4. Arrange the asparagus, Mozzarella, sundried tomatoe and Jamón Serrano on a platter and garnish with basil leaves.

...I should try this as soon as the asparagus is ready in the garden.

Very nice contrast with the dark plate. I had some quinoa for lunch today.

Puestos a elegir espárragos prefiero los trigueros y me parecerían igual de ricos en una ensalada como esta. Una mezcla estupenda junto a esa vinagreta.

This is the perfect salad for us, as we leave for Spain soon. I plan to use a lot of Jamón Serrano when I am there, and I’m sure I can find the asparagus, too. Although I’ve never seen purple asparagus anywhere except for here in Tucson. This is a lovely salad, Angie.

That salad looks fabulous. I'm excited for asparagus season to begin, even though you can still get it in the grocery store. :)

That looks great! I always am happy to visit and see what delights you have to share. Thanks Angie :)

Angie; es de recibo vuestra sugerencia de cambio de ingredientes. En mi país el jamón serrano por ejemplo es prohibitivo. Generalmente, como varios de los ingredientes que van en vuestras recetas aquí no se encuentran, he sabido adaptarlas a nuestros alimentos sin perder el sentido de lo que ofreces.
Siempre gracias por las delicias que nos brindas.
Un gran abrazo.
Buena semana!
