This asparagus ribbon salad is the crown jewel of all salads. She’s a classy gal. She’s not only beautiful but she has depth and character. She is certainly is a head-turner. A long list of ingredients isn’t needed when that list includes asparagus, beets and burrata.

If you’re not familiar with burrata, you need to head on over to your grocery list and add it to the items you want to purchase. It’s solid fresh mozzarella on the outside, but when you break it open, you find a mixture of mozzarella and cream. It has a soft texture that’s perfect for this salad everything. The creamy center of the burrata mixes with the asparagus ribbons and the beets.
