Salata de sparanghel / Asparagus salad

Multa lume asociaza salatele cu cateva frunze fade si atat. Ei bine, nu :)
O salata poate fi gustoasa, cu arome ce se imbina perfect si ne satisfac atat simturile, cat si necesitatile zilnice ale organismului. Poate fi satioasa si energizanta, poate fi hrana pentru trup si suflet. Ca aceasta salata de sparanghel.  E ceva deosebit, garantez :)

Ingrediente (2 portii):

• 1 legatura de sparanghel
• 250g rosii cherry
• 1 avocado
• 1 mana de frunze de busuioc
• 2 lg ulei de masline
• zeama de la 1 lamaie
• 1 mana de muguri de pin
• sare si piper dupa gust

Curatam sparanghelul (vedeti aici cum) si il taiem in jumatati. Puteti folosi si sparanghel congelat sau la borcan. Il fierbem la aburi aprox 7-8 minute, pana se fragezeste (incercati-l cu o furculita). Decojim si tocam cubulete fructul de avocado, taiem rosiile si rupem frunzele de busuioc cu mana, pentru a elibera aromele. Amestecam toate ingredientele si savuram o salata delicioasa :) Pofta mare!
