Boil the Jersey Royals: Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife. Drain well and set aside to cool slightly.
Cook the Asparagus: While the potatoes are cooking, steam or grill the asparagus until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Alternatively, blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then refresh in ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
Prepare the Lemon Vinaigrette: In a small saucepan, melt the Jersey butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Jersey milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, asparagus, rocket, and cherry tomatoes. Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Serve: Arrange the salad on a serving platter. Place the Burrata cheese balls on top of the salad. Sprinkle with fresh mint and parsley. Serve immediately.

Use a vegetable peeler to shave the asparagus into ribbons for a more elegant presentation.
If you don't have Jersey milk, any good quality milk will work. You can also omit it for a lighter vinaigrette.
For a more substantial salad, add grilled chicken or smoked salmon.
The Jersey Royals are best served warm, but the salad can be served at room temperature.
If you can’t find burrata, fresh mozzarella is a good substitute.
