This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's also really easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. I like to add a bit of grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover asparagus and avocado. It's also really healthy and refreshing. I like to add a bit of feta cheese or goat cheese for extra flavor.
