Bombay Orange Celery and Asparagus Salad

March 28, 2023

We love to make salads extraordinary, without a lifeless bowl of lettuce in sight. This salad uses two unexpected vegetables: celery and raw asparagus. It's loaded with fresh herbs, sharp sheep’s cheese, and Oaktown's flavorful Bombay Orange blend, packed with orange zest, Aleppo chile, green onion, coriander and fennel. The best part? This salad gets better as it sits, so prepare it in advance for a delicious springtime dish!
