Spring-a-Dilly Asparagus Salad


 
Springtime is all about dill and asparagus for me. Dill and lemon juice taste so fresh together, and as soon as I see asparagus in the markets, I know that the seasons are changing and warming up. I love the combo of honey mustard & lemon combination, and the dill just take it over the top.


Also, a note on chopped salads…many of us use greens for our salads (as do I) but to kick it up a notch, sometimes I just cube and mix various veggies together and that hits the spot in another fun way. This recipe is an example of just that…an explosion of textures and flavors in your mouth. Enjoy!


Combine the following dressing ingredients together in a bowl: 
2 tablespoons honey mustard
3 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar or 2 tablespoons lemon juice (or to taste)
pinch of salt and a few pinches crushed black pepper
Mix the dressing ingredients together and taste for seasoning.

In the same dressing bowl, layer in:
½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
¾ cup cubed cucumbers
½ cup cubed red pepper
¾ cup chopped asparagus spears
1 tablespoon dill

Mix everything together and adjust the seasoning to your liking. This serves 2 as a side salad or one large salad for a very hungry person...Enjoy!
