Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) fresh asparagus
- 1 ripe but firm avocado
- 3 oz (90g) fresh goat cheese
- 1 cup (250mL) fresh blackberries
- 1 lemon, cut in half
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt & pepper
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Bring a pot of water up to a boil and salt generously. Trim asparagus and add to water. Blanch, uncovered, until tender (check by tasting – time will vary depending on thickness of asparagus). Once tender drain and shock in a bowl with ice and water to halt cooking. Strain and chill until ready to serve.
Step 2
To serve, arrange chilled asparagus on a serving platter. Peel and slice avocado and arrange over asparagus. Crumble goat cheese on top and then sprinkle salad with blackberries. Squeeze lemon juice over top then drizzle salad with a touch of olive oil and season lightly.
