It’s definitely asparagus and strawberry season in my neck of the woods and oh how I love asparagus and strawberries! Roasted Asparagus Salad with Strawberries marries the two and the end result is a tasty salad that makes your mouth sing.
Roasted Asparagus Salad with Strawberries starts with roasted asparagus and is topped with strawberries, bacon, feta cheese and a home made honey balsamic vinaigrette. Simply delicious.
I served this at a dinner party and there was not one bite left. Rave reviews from everyone. I have put this on my list of recipes to make while we are vacationing in the Outer Banks.
For a quick fix I make Roasted Asparagus, click here for that recipe but I thought it was time to come up with a salad recipe using roasted asparagus.
Happy Wednesday!
Enjoy!
