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.
