Black Bean Asparagus Salad image

Do you like asparagus, but want something beyond plain, steamed asparagus? Try this refreshing new salad idea from Laurie Jackson of Falcon, Colorado. The black beans, red pepper, cilantro and cumin give it a Southwest twist. Laurie likes to serve this salad with chicken or cheese enchiladas, as well as take it to potlucks.

I didn't like the dressing. It was too vinegary for my taste.

The asparagus was too tough. I think I should have cooked it for a little longer.

The dressing is the star of the show. It's light and lemony, with just the right amount of sweetness.
