To balance butter and sugar this week, I'm turning to the en vogue vegetable in my life... asparagus. With a quick sear in a hot skillet, the asparagus is still perfectly crisp. Tossed with fresh cherry tomatoes, basil, chickpeas, capers and a sprinkle of maldon salt all on a bed of baby spinach and, like me, this will surely become your springtime-go-to-salad.
