TOMATO ASPARAGUS SALAD

Tomato Asparagus Salad image

Instead of reaching for the old reliable head of iceberg lettuce to make a plain salad, whip up this refreshing variation instead. With just six ingredients, it's a cinch to prepare and makes an attractive presentation. The fresh flavor of the asparagus and tomato complement each other well.-Ruby Williams, Bogalusa, Louisiana
