2. | In a spacious bowl, mix together the shaved asparagus, Persian cucumbers, radishes, minced green garlic, and chopped snap peas. |
3. | In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of Kosher salt. Drizzle this dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to ensure even coating. |
4. | Arrange the dressed vegetables elegantly on a serving platter, then crown them with creamy burrata. Cut the burrata open delicately, allowing the velvety cheese to cascade, and finish with a generous sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately. |
