Burrata, British Asparagus & Pea Salad



⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

An absolutely delightful early summer salad that was just a joy to eat. This would work really well as a starter served on individual plates. You could do all of the prep in advance then simply drizzle the dressing just before serving. My Mum and I enjoyed it alongside some pan fried Sea Bream which was delicious.
