Nothing says, "Spring!" like this asparagus salad recipe. It's light and refreshing, made with crisp veggies, feta, and a creamy avocado dressing.
Each year, I make this asparagus salad recipe to celebrate the arrival of spring…which is usually later than you’d think.
This asparagus salad combines all my favorite seasonal produce – crisp radishes, asparagus, sweet peas, and fresh herbs. It’s easy to make, and it’s flavorful, bright, and refreshing. Enjoy it on its own for a light lunch, or serve it as a side dish with almost anything you like.
