Asparagus and tomatoes, or rather the lack thereof, are two more reasons to hate Winter. I guess if I was being optimistic about it, I'd say they are two reasons to LOVE Summer. But the lack of awesome tomatoes and asparagus in the wintertime is annoying, to say the least.
However yesterday I got some amazing picks of these fruits and vegetables, and I decided to make a couple of REALLY easy salads with them. They were SO delicious. I will have them again today.
For the asparagus salad, you'll need:
5-6 stalks of awesome asparagus
lemon
feta cheese
lemon pepper
Blance the asparagus and cut the stalks into thirds. Sprinkle lemon juice and feta on top while throwing some lemon pepper on there too. Done.
Tomato salad
2 vine-ripe tomatoes cut to your liking
Italian dressing of some kind (I use Newman's Family recipe)
oregano
lemon pepper
parsley
salt
mozzarella
croutons
Combine all the ingredients (except the croutons) in a bowl and refrigerate for an hour or so. Add croutons to the salad just before eating.
Delectable and surprisingly filling, these are both tasty treats sure to please your friends.
