Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper, line up the asparagus on the paper and brush with olive oil. Roast in preheated oven at 400 degrees F for six minutes.
  • Combine vinegar, honey, mustard, lemon juice, shallots, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil to blend.
  • Line four salad plates with European salad mix. Divide the beets among the plates; attractively roll and arrange the ham or prosciutto on each salad.
  • Top each salad with five spears of grilled asparagus. Crumble 2 oz of the Cambozola cheese over the salads and top with pine nuts. Stir vinaigrette and adjust seasoning, if desired; drizzle over salads.
  • Butter the toasted bread; cut each slice in half and then in half diagonally to form two triangles. Sprinkle the toast points with the remaining 4 oz Cambozola and place in hot oven just to soften and warm cheese.
  • Place four triangles attractively around each salad. Enjoy with a glass of crisp German Riesling wine.
