Asparagus Caprese Salad with a Crunchy Basil Topping

Asparagus Caprese with a Crunchy Basil Topping…for the win! Asparagus is everywhere when it comes to spring food, so I decided to marry it with the classic caprese flavors but elevate it up a bit!  I added toasted breadcrumbs for some texture, fresh lemon juice for some brightness, and roasted the asparagus for some depth. It all comes together to create a lovely marriage of flavors. This recipe is easy to throw together for a last-minute side dish for a party or even a weeknight dinner.
