ASPARAGUS WITH TOMATOES
This is a delicious way to take advantage of early spring's flavorful asparagus. A great dish to accompany large, busy meals, as most of the work can be done ahead of time and the asparagus reheated with the tomatoes and garlic at the last minute while the roast (or whatever else) is resting. Also a delicious preparation for green beans in place of the asparagus.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan 180C. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and discard. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer in a baking tray with sides. Cut the tomatoes in half widthways, nestle them in with the asparagus, season with sea salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Roll each bacon rasher into a tight roll (if large, first cut in half crosswise), and arrange in the tray. Drizzle the bacon rolls with the honey and bake for 20 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and the bacon is crisp.
- In the meantime, boil the potatoes until tender. Whisk the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, some sea salt and pepper in a large bowl until blended. Toss the rocket or spinach leaves in half of the dressing, and arrange on a large serving platter.
- Drain the potatoes and cut in half. Gently toss them in the rest of the dressing, and arrange on the platter with the asparagus. Tuck in the tomatoes and bacon.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender asparagus for the best flavor and texture.
- Trim the asparagus spears by snapping off the woody ends.
- Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
- Immediately transfer the asparagus to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve the bright green color.
- Pat the asparagus dry before adding it to the salad.
- Use a variety of tomatoes for different colors and flavors.
- Cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes are a good choice for this salad because they are easy to halve or quarter.
- If using larger tomatoes, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Use a light, flavorful dressing, such as a vinaigrette or lemon-herb dressing.
- Garnish the salad with fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or chives.
Conclusion:
Warm asparagus salad with tomatoes is a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. It is perfect for spring and summer gatherings. The asparagus is tender-crisp and flavorful, the tomatoes are juicy and sweet, and the dressing is light and tangy. This salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
