  • Choose the best ingredients: Use fresh, ripe asparagus, avocados, and tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • Slow-roast the tomatoes: Slow-roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and makes them incredibly sweet and juicy.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving: This will prevent the avocado from browning and the salad from becoming watery.

The combination of flavors and textures is incredible, and the dressing adds the perfect finishing touch. Whether you are looking for a light lunch or a side dish for dinner, this salad is sure to please everyone at the table.
