Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 lb Asparagus trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
- 10 oz. Spring mix greens
- 1 c Spring peas, chilled
- 8 oz. Burrata cheese broken into pieces
- ⅔ c pecans lightly toasted if desired, or use candied pecans
Dressing
- 2 Tbsp Honey
- 1/4 c extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp Garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Orange juice
- 1 tsp Orange zest
- ½ tsp cracked pepper
- sea salt to taste
For Sourdough Croutons
- 2 c cubed Sourdough bread
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp cracked pepper
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Rinse and trim asparagus and cut into 2-inch pieces. Toss with a small drizzle of olive oil, and a dash of garlic, sea salt and pepper. Line on one half of the pan with parchment. In a bowl, toss all ingredients for croutons together and coat bread well. Line evenly on other half of baking sheet.
- Bake for approximately 12 minutes. If you like your croutons extra crispy, allow them to stay in a couple extra minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
- While asparagus and croutons are baking, whisk all ingredients for the dressing together well. Add sea salt to taste. Chill until ready to serve.
- Add spring mix, peas, and asparagus into a large salad bowl or serving platter. Just prior to serving, add Burrata (You can break into it and cut up or throw it on whole and then break them up as you serve.), croutons, and pecans. Toss with desired amount of dressing and enjoy!
Notes
Burrata can be hard to find sometimes. I only have a couple stores near me that sell it. It can be a touch pricy as well. Use mozzarella instead if you would like! It will still be super tasty.
If you want to switch up the dressing, this simple Lemon Dijon Dressing is another favorite we like to add on top of this spring green salad!
Make this salad a meal by adding some freshly grilled chicken or salmon. That's what we did the first time I made this, and it was a delicious dinner!
Easily make this recipe gluten free by using a gluten-free bread to make the croutons.
