I found this in a recent Taste of Home magazine. I tried it out on my family and we all thought it was Zaar-worthy. Slightly adapted for my family's taste. This makes a lot so you may want to half the recipe.

salt
1 1/2 lbs uncooked penne or 1 1/2 lbs penne pasta
3/4 cup chopped green onion

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much spinach.

This salad is a bit too tangy for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice in the dressing.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I loved this salad! The dressing is amazing and the feta cheese really brings it all together.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I also added some chopped walnuts for extra crunch.
