This strawberry and ginger salad with grilled asparagus recipe is such a pretty dish! Grill the British asparagus, mix the fresh halved Sweet Eve strawberries with crispy lardons and toasted almond, and add everything together. A little ginger preserve and a dash of vinegar and olive oil mixed together are perfect drizzle on top of the salad with lots of black pepper.

Method
Brush the griddle pan with the tsp of oil and fry the pancetta until crispy brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
Having removed the tough ends, add the young asparagus spears to the hot pan, turning every so often and cook for 3-4 minutes so they are nicely charred. Remove and place in a warm dish.
