Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 4 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 4 hours 30 minutes

With cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, pine nuts and spring onions

Trim the ends of the asparagus and cut the stalks into bite-sized pieces. First, toast the pine nuts (careful! They can burn easily). Remove the pine nuts from the pan, add a little oil, and fry the asparagus. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar and fry for 10 minutes, stirring regularly. In the meantime, halve the tomatoes, chop the mozzarella and spring onions, and put everything in a bowl. For the balsamic vinaigrette, mix the oil and balsamic vinegar well and season with salt, pepper, and sugar. The asparagus should now be ready and go into the bowl with the other ingredients. Pour the vinaigrette over the asparagus and mix everything well. The salad should now sit for a few hours.
