GREEK ASPARAGUS SALAD
Asparagus is one of my favorite spring vegetables, but my family gets bored with it. So I developed a tasty variation of my favorite beet salad using asparagus instead. My husband gave this yummy asparagus salad rave reviews. -Kriss Erickson, Everett, Washington

GREEK ASPARAGUS SALAD
I'm in love with this salad! The asparagus is cooked perfectly. Marinating the salad allows the flavors to marry together and elevates the flavors in this simple salad. Great for a summertime al fresco dinner!

This is such a yummy salad, especially in the summer! It will keep several days in the refig. and seems to get better and better. After trying one something like this at a restaurant, I came home and tried to duplicate it with a few more ingredients!
