Spring Easter Salad

5 oz. mixed spring greens

½ cup fresh peas

½ cup yellow cherry tomatoes – sliced

1 cucumber, sliced

1 fennel bulb, remove outer skin and fronds, then thinly sliced

1 bunch asparagus, chopped in half, remove woody ends

4 oz. crumbled feta

¼ cup pepitas

3 Tbsp. OT Garlic & Chive balsamic

1 tbsp. OT olive oil of choice (a mild olive oil we find best)

Homemade croutons, optional

salt & pepper, as needed

In a sauté pan, sauté asparagus in 1 tbsp. olive oil for 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and refrigerate until cold – about 1 hour.

Layer mixed greens in a large salad bowl, then distribute sliced fennel and sliced cucumber between greens. Add asparagus in small bunches throughout the salad. Sprinkle ½ cup fresh peas evenly, sprinkle crumbled feta, croutons, and distribute sliced cherry tomatoes on top and sprinkle with pepitas.

Whisk together the balsamic (always first) with the olive oil and drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and serve.
