Try this tasty, nutritious combination from Gene Briggs, executive chef of Blue and Table restaurants in Charlotte, North Carolina. Folate in the asparagus helps prevent anemia; grapes contribute good-for-your-heart flavonoids. Ingredients:
3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
2 tablespoon sherry vinegar |
1 shallot, minced |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
12 stalks each white and green asparagus, ends trimmed (24 total) |
6 thin slices serrano ham (or prosciutto), each cut into 4 strips |
1 cup frisée |
1 cup mixed greens |
1/2 pound each seedless green and red grapes, halved |
1/4 cup sliced roasted almonds |
Directions:
1. Whisk oil, vinegar, shallot, salt and pepper in a bowl. Set aside. Cook asparagus in simmering water until soft but still crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Rinse under cold water and drain. Wrap a strip of ham around each asparagus stalk. Toss frisée, greens and grapes with dressing in a bowl, then transfer to a platter; top with asparagus. Garnish with almonds.
