Course: Salad
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 3.5 oz ciabatta bread 1/4 loaf
  • 10 oz Green Asparagus
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp agave syrup or honey
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 3 fresh basil stalks

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400F (200C). Cut the bread into very thin slices and spread the slices in one layer out on a baking rack. Put the baking rack into the hot oven and bake for 3 to 4 minutes until crispy. Peel and cut the garlic clove in half. Rub with the garlic halves over the crispy bread. Set aside.
  • Wash and dry your green asparagus. Cut off the ends, peel the lower third, and cut the asparagus into 1.5-inch pieces. In a small pot bring water to a boil, add 1/2 tsp salt and add the asparagus. Cook it for 3 minutes until it is al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  • Wash and cut the tomatoes into halves. Put them with the asparagus in a big serving bowl.
  • To make the dressing, put vinegar, olive oil, and agave syrup or honey in a screw-top jar. Shake the jar until combined and season the dressing with salt and pepper. Add the dressing to the tomatoes and asparagus.
  • Pick the basil leaves from the stalks, chop them coarsely, and add them to the salad.
  • Just before serving add the garlic bread chips. Enjoy!
