Summer salads make me giddy. This one is super easy and full of crazy good flavors. I love fresh mozzarella on anything. If you follow me on instastories you saw that I served this salad with a roast chicken and cauliflower rice for dinner last night. I am basically obsessed with cauliflower rice these days- the kids not so much. If you wanted a vegetarian meal you could skip the chicken or even serve this over quinoa and/or lettuce for a heartier salad.
This is best served room temperature.
Enjoy!

- 1 bunch asparagus
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- small mozzarella balls, halved
- 1/2 cup pesto
- fresh basil
- olive oil
Wash asparagus and trim ends off. Spread on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast at 350 degrees 15 minutes.
In a bowl toss, tomatoes, mozzarella and pesto together. I added a little olive to loosen up the pesto.
Remove asparagus to platter and scoop the tomato mozzarella salad over the top. Sprinkle with fresh basil.
** I used store bought pesto but homemade is always so much better
