This vegan asparagus tart with strawberry salsa is a must in asparagus season.
A lovely asparagus tart with a creamy, lemony and ‘cheesy’ bean base that’s quick and easy to make and tastes scrumptious cold or warm, especially with the sweet strawberry salsa on top. This recipe requires just a few ingredients and trust me when I say, you don’t have to be super experienced in the kitchen to make a perfect asparagus tart – this recipe is absolutely foolproof. This tart makes an amazing springtime appetiser or a simple dinner with a salad. Dee-licious, you’ve got to try this!
If I remember correctly, my love of cooking has started with a few simple puff pastry recipes. I absolutely loved that with a few ingredients I can make a not so fancy dinner. Needless to say, my food wasn’t very exciting or original – back then I basically put heaps of cheese and veggies on my puff pastry sheets – but those dinners gave me enough confidence to start to play around in the kitchen and get a bit more creative with my food.
Although nowadays I don’t use puff pastry that often anymore, I have to admit it’s still one of my go-to ingredients when I need to make something that everybody loves and that’s also quick and satiating. Because seriously, who doesn’t love pies, tarts and little savoury snacks? Today’s asparagus tart is one of those never-fail recipes, I’m sure you’ll like it!

Thank you! Let me know how you liked it 😉
Indeed, it’s an asparagus season, and I haven’t had any yet. Glad you’ve reminded about it with such a fabulous tart. I do love the bean layer here and this strawberry salsa – pretty amazing, Evi!
Thanks, Ben!
You should definitely hurry up, it’s such a short season, but probably the most wonderful time of the year 😉
O wow, I’m loving the combo of the grilled asparagus with the strawberry! Sweet, smoky, earthy…yum!
Thanks, Rebecca 🙂
Two of best in spring time! The tart looks fabulous, Evi.
Thanks, Angie!
You won’t believe that I haven’t made even a single asparagus recipe this season. This tart looks so stunning and flavorsome, Evi. And that strawberry salsa sounds YUM. I would love to try this sometime soon. 🙂
Thank you, Anu! Go and get some asparagus NOW 😀
MMMMM. The flavours in that tart are delicious. I love the sound of strawberry and asparagus together!
Thanks, Lucie!
I always end up keeping asparagus in the fridge for too long because I have no clue on how to prepare them. The combination with strawberries is bold and intriguing.
Thanks Daniela! Unfortunately it never happens with me, if I have asparagus for longer than two days in my fridge, I simply eat them raw 😀
