Here’s a quick, easy and most importantly healthy recipe that’ll take you 20 min to prep and 5 min to cook. It’s via Gourmet Traveller, Australia’s premier food and travel magazine who always seem to have a new and innovative take on old favourites.

It’s a great site for recipe inspiration as it’s well structured with beautiful photography and interesting features from around the globe. Fabulous for pinning those delicious food shots too.

Talking of photography you can imagine, I absolutely adore the styling of this warm asparagus salad by Lucy Weight, Emma Knowles, Lisa Featherby & Alice Storey. Lovely touch with the vintage lamp and chair just creeping into the shot. Yum!

NOTE: If you’re a bit of an asparagus fan like myself check out this tortilla too!
