Never in a million years would I ever think to put asparagus and strawberry together, but now that I’ve seen it, I can’t imagine them NOT being together! I will def. pick up some of each at the market and give this a go!

that’s why I love this blog- flavor combinations I never would have thought of. Asparagus and strawberries are the two best parts of spring- why not put them together?
