Asparagus Spring Salad

A quick, healthy and flavorful spring treat

Nothing screams Spring like asparagus.  By mid-spring it becomes the fresh go-to vegetable unlike any other.  Sure, by early summer you are so tired of asparagus that you are ready to scream, but that’s ok, because that is just the time that the season is ending for the year.With the prevelance of aspargus in early spring comes the necessity at creativity.  Steamed asparagus over, and over, and over just doesn’t cut it.  The Asparagus Spring Salad is just the answer.

Simple to make, it doesn’t even warrant a formal recipe.  Simply add your favorite freshly available produce to the crisply steamed asparagus and toss it with salt, pepper, olive oil and just the lightest touch of balsamic vinegar.  In the picture included here, I’ve added fresh radishes, scallions and tomatoes to the mix.
