Ingredients
  • Yellow Heirloom Tomatoes
  • Asparagus*
  • Green Beans
  • Fresh Mozzarella
  • Basil leaves
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Sea Salt
  • Cracked Black Pepper
  • Thinly sliced red onion rings - optional
  • Butter lettuce - optional

Directions
  1. Wash, core and cut tomatoes into eighth-sized wedges. Blanch cleaned and trimmed asparagus and green beans in heavily salted rapidly boiling water for about 15 seconds and cool in an ice bath.
  2. Drain and set aside. Drain fresh mozzarella and tear apart into small chunks. Combine cheese, beans, asparagus and basil in a mixing bowl and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and serve.
  3. *I omitted the asparagus, & the salad is still excellent with just the green beans. Sometimes I like to add thinly sliced red onion rings, & serve the salad over Butter lettuce.

This sounds wonderful. An absolutely inviting summer salad! Many thanks.

I could really work with this. You know if you blanch them first, fresh green beans grill well

That looks - and sounds - like the perfect summer salad for us...heirlooms are just finally making their way to our markets after our cool, rainy summer - late, late start on all our veggies around here. I will definitely pick up some yellow heirlooms next week and make this for us - I know we will love it because we love everything in it! Thanks...Krum
