A refreshing Shaved Asparagus Salad topped with creamy burrata and savory prosciutto, perfect for a light meal or appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 8 ounces burrata cheese
- 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Using a vegetable peeler, shave the asparagus into thin ribbons. If the asparagus is thick, you can also slice it very thinly. Place the shaved asparagus in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the shaved asparagus and toss gently to combine.
- On a serving platter, arrange the dressed asparagus. Tear the burrata into pieces and place it on top of the asparagus.
- Drape the prosciutto slices over the salad.
- Sprinkle the shaved Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves over the top. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a twist, try adding toasted pine nuts or walnuts for extra crunch.
- You can also substitute the burrata with fresh mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
