I've never been a fan of chive vinaigrette, but I loved it in this salad. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. It's also a great make-ahead salad. I often make it the night before and it's even better the next day.

I've tried many asparagus salads before, but this one is by far the best. The chive vinaigrette really makes the dish. It's light and flavorful, and it perfectly complements the asparagus and salmon.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of asparagus, smoked salmon, and chive vinaigrette was divine. I especially loved the smokiness of the salmon and the crunch of the asparagus. Will definitely be making this again!
