:: Serves 8 (as a side) ::
All ingredients available from your local Romeo’s.
Ingredients
200g finely sliced San Marino prosciutto from Romeo’s deli counter
3 bunches asparagus, 2cm chopped off the ends
1 packet baby rocket, washed
2 fresh buffalo mozzarella balls
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp honey
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp minced garlic
Method
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add asparagus and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Remove asparagus with tongs and blanch in a bowl of iced water for 30 seconds. Drain and set aside.
For the salad dressing, mix olive oil, honey, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
To assemble, layer the rocket, asparagus and prosciutto on a large serving platter. Tear mozzarella over the top. Drizzle with honey dressing.
Serve with some fresh ciabatta bread — delicious with barbecued meat of your choice.
Enjoy!
