End of Summer Salad
A tumble of microgreens, berries and an assortment of veggies are featured in this stunning salad — a perfect way to bid adieu to summer (from A House in the Hills)
Serves 2
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 1/2 cups micro arugula
- 1 cup blackberries (ripe and sweet!)
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 1 ear red corn, cut off the cob
- 1/2 bunch white asparagus
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 clove of garlic, pressed
- 2 tablespoons chopped caper berries (stems removed)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of mint, finely chopped
- sea salt
- black pepper
Directions:
Rinse and dry microgreens. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, mint, garlic, chopped caper berries and a pinch of salt. Place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Trim ends off of asparagus (I trimmed a good 1 1/2- 2 inches off of mine to get to the softest part). Lightly coat spears with olive oil and cook on medium heat over a grill pan or on your grill until seared to your preference. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and pepper. Cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
Assemble the salad by combining microgreens, corn, asparagus, blackberries and pine nuts in a large bowl. Add salad dressing (recipe makes enough for some leftovers, depending on preference). Toss well and serve immediately!
Enjoy!
