Wonderfully tasty salad! Not recommended for those on Low Fat diets. I suppose the ingredients could be changed to reflect lower fat options, however.

I love that this salad is so versatile. You can add different ingredients to change up the flavor. I've added chopped hard-boiled eggs, bacon, and even avocado.

This is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before a party and it was still delicious the next day.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I had some leftover from a previous recipe and this was the perfect way to use it up. The salad was delicious and I'll definitely be making it again.

I've never been a big fan of asparagus, but this salad changed my mind. The dressing is so good that it even made the asparagus taste delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy side dish. The asparagus cooks in just a few minutes and the dressing is simple to make. I also like that you can use canned asparagus if you don't have fresh on hand.

This salad is a summer staple at our house. It's so refreshing and light, and the asparagus is always cooked to perfection. I also appreciate that it's a relatively healthy dish, so I can indulge without feeling guilty.

Fantastic recipe! I've made this salad several times now and it's always a hit. The asparagus is perfectly cooked and the dressing is tangy and flavorful. I love that it's a make-ahead dish, so I can prepare it in advance for parties or potlucks.
