Melon Asparagus Mozzarella Salad


It is the time of the year again... I mean it is winter, time for endless holidays and dinner parties , time for more eating and less movement, time for the most interesting super caloric drinks...So naturally I decided to share some lighter dishes, let's give our bellies a break:) This recipe actually was inspired by Giada De Laureates similar dish
Ingredients :
1). 1 pound Asparagus.
2). 1 pound melon.
3). 1 tb spoon vegetable oil.
4). 1 tb spoon lemon juice ( fresh ).
5). Couple of Mint leaves if you have it .
6). Salt and pepper just a little according to your taste.
7). 2 oz mozzarella ,part skim if you want a light dish .
8). Slivered almonds as much as you like, but I would recommend couple of tb spoons, to keep our light dish lighter .

Preparation :
Trim asparagus grill or steam them. Cut into 1-2 inch stripes , cut melons into cubes and mozzarella into thin rectangles,add almonds; separately whisk salt, pepper, oil and lemon juice together , pore over main ingredients in a large bowl ,fold everything and whoa la:) it's done! Almost forgot throw roughly chopped mint leaves for even more flavor and nutrition, not to mention that you will end up with super good looking plate.Enjoy this guilt free yummy dish!
