Ingredients

8 cups baby spinach leaves
1 lb asparagus spear
1 (6 ounce) jar artichoke hearts, drained, and each cut in half
2 cups fresh strawberries, washed and sliced or 2 cups blueberries, washed
6 tablespoons feta or 6 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup pecans or 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/3 cup bottled poppy seed salad dressing
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 tablespoon orange juice

Steps:

Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and discard. Take the rest of the asparagus, and cut them into 1" pieces.
Blanch them in boiling, salted water for a couple of minutes, until just crisp-tender.
Drain the asparagus, and plunge in cold water until completely cooled. Drain again.
Meanwhile, for the dressing, blend together Poppy Seed dressing, orange peel, and orange juice.
In a salad bowl combine the spinach, asparagus, artichokes, and strawberries.
Lightly toss with the dressing.
Place on serving plates, and garnish with toasted nuts, and cheese.
