{recipe} Make This: Asparagus Panzanella with Buttermilk Dressing from 101 Cookbooks

Whenever I am in need of vegetarian inspiration, I turn to my friend Heidi’s gorgeous site 101 Cookbooks. This recipe for asparagus panzanella s so good, so easy, and so quick that I know it will become a weekend lunch staple for years to come.

The recipe is deceptively simple: you toast torn bread in some butter and salt, blanch asparagus, and make an easy buttermilk dressing by shaking together just a few ingredients. But the combination is fabulous. I think it would be great with some toasted almonds or hazelnuts sprinkled on top, and will try that next time.

Alongside a roasted chicken, it makes a pretty perfect meal – and you can make all the components in advance and just toss them together right before serving. This is one you don’t want to miss! You can find the recipe at 101 Cookbooks.

P.S. You can pre-order Heidi’s forthcoming book, Near and Far, which is coming out in September – or read this fun post about how she put the cookbook together.
