Caprese Asparagus Salad
All the best stuff of a classic Caprese Salad plus roasted asparagus. So easy to make!
I am obsessed with anything caprese. The perfect mix of tomato, basil and, of course, mozzarella. It’s such a good combination.
This salad takes the classic flavor and elevates it with pesto sauce and asparagus. It’s a perfect light summer salad with all that amazing caprese flavor. Incredibly easy to make and comes together very quickly.
I am always looking for a new, unique and delicious side dish involving veggies and this one does not disappoint.
