Starter

This interesting salad recipe was the brainchild of the owner of a small cafe in Bath. I was a bit dubious about it at first, but it was one of our best selling menu items. This refreshing asparagus salad is a refreshing and delicious salad that combines some unusual flavour combinations that will blow your guests away at a dinner party or be a treat you can enjoy on your own.

Asparagus and Chorizo Salad

ingridients

  • 250g asparagus

  •  2 chorizo sausages, sliced into bite-size pieces

  •  3 Tbsp olive oil 

  • 1 Tbsp sherry vinegar

  • 1 Tbsp wholegrain mustard 

  • 2 slices of white bread, cut into cubes

  • handful of rocket leaves

Method

  1. Bring a pan of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for about 10 minutes or until just going tender. Drain the water and leave to cool

  2. Grill the chorizo under a hot grill until just beginning to colour (around 5 minutes) and leave to cool on a piece of kitchen paper

  3. Combine 2 Tbsp of the olive oil with sherry vinegar and mustard. Add salt and pepper to taste

  4. Heat the remaining oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the bread cubes and fry until golden, stirring constantly to avoid burning

  5. Put the rocket leaves on the plate and top with the asparagus and chorizo. Add the croutons on top and drizzle with the dressing

  6. Serve
