Another Favorite Spring Dinner




I made this a ton last year so it was one of the first meals I was excited to revisit when asparagus was back in season. Serve as a salad and guests can make their own little flavor combos. It never fails - people love this! Perfect starter or light dinner.


Tomatoes
Fresh or whole canned tomatoes, sliced and drizzled with olive oil, balsamic, salt and pepper, then roasted until they are sweet and delicious. They are definitely the highlight of the whole plate if done right.

Asparagus
Roasted with olive oil, salt and pepper. Finished with a splash of balsamic.

Arugula
Tossed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Mozzarella
Good quality buffalo mozzarella, sliced (I like Delaurenti's brand fresh mozzarella).

Prosciutto
Good quality prosciutto.

Crostinis
Baguette slices brushed with olive oil, broiled until golden brown, then rubbed with raw garlic clove.

Any other antipasto ingredients
Artichoke hearts, olives, etc.
