Ingredients:

Serving

for salad
10 oz mixed italian greens like romaine , arugula , radicchio , etc
8-10 fresh asparagus spears, tops only (about 2 inches down)
1 tsp olive oil
sea salt
4 oz gourmet roll(not sliced ) salami (look in your grocer's specialty case)
4 oz fontina cheese, shredded ( this should yield about 1/2 cup)
12-16 fresh sweet cherries
2 green onions sliced
for croutons
4 thick(1/2 ) cut pieces from italian bread loaf( garlic and herb , if possible) cut into thirds
1/2 stick butter
if using plain italian bread , add the following
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp fresh italian herbs, chopped ( basil +/- oregano)
for dressing
1 rounded tsp cherry all fruit preserves/spread
1tsp dijon
3-4 tsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup dressing quality olive oil
1 tsp fresh italian herbs, chopped fine
season salt blend
extra fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

For Salad
Toss asparagus tops in 1T olive oil and place in broiler safe pan(I use cast iron) See Photo
Sprinkle with sea salt
Broil about 5 minutes until al dente and still bright green color, and set aside See Photo
Cut cherries in half by placing knife in stem end, and rotating cherry without picking up the knife, until you are all around the cherry(similarly to how it is recommended to cut open avocados) See Photo
Gently twist cherry and it will open, again, like an avocado, with the pit staying in one side
Carefully pop pit out with end of dull knife or baby spoon
Slice salami into 8 slices, then cut those slices into quarters See Photo
For Croutons
Melt butter in medium glass bowl in microwave
Carefully toss bread pieces in butter(and herbs, if using) until all pieces are coated and butter is gone See Photo
Place on baking tray or oven safe pan(I used the SAME cast iron as I did for the asparagus, and the salt at the bottom lent a great flavor :) and bake for about 15 minutes at 350.
Croutons should be crunchy and golden brown all around with a slight give in the middles See Photo
Set aside
For Dressing
In small glass bowl, combine preserves, Dijon, vinegar, herbs, salt and pepper and whisk well
Slowly add oil, whisking constantly, to emulsify and combine well.
Taste and adjust as needed
To Plate Salad
Lay down a bed of greens
Top with asparagus, salami, cherries and green onion
Add cheese and croutons and drizzle with dressing
