500 gGreen asparagus
250 gStrawberries
100 gFeta cheese
0.5 bunchFresh mint
3 tbspOlive oil
1 tbspBalsamic vinegar(white)
1 tspHoney
1 pinchSalt(to taste)
1 pinchBlack pepper(freshly ground, to taste)

Instructions

Wash the green asparagus and trim off the woody ends. If the spears are very thick, you can peel the lower third. Cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces (about 1 to 1.5 inches long).
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus pieces and blanch for about 3-5 minutes, depending on their thickness, until they are tender-crisp. Immediately drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and preserve their vibrant color. Set aside to cool.
Wash the strawberries, pat them dry, and hull them. Cut the strawberries into quarters or halves, depending on their size.
Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces. Wash the fresh mint, pat it dry, and chop it finely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, and honey to create the dressing. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled asparagus, strawberries, crumbled feta, and chopped mint. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly.
Serve the green asparagus salad immediately as a refreshing appetizer or a light side dish. Enjoy!

💡 Tipp

For a different flavor profile, you can swap white balsamic vinegar for lemon juice. To make this salad vegan, simply replace the feta cheese with a plant-based vegan feta alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey. This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
