How to Trim Fresh Asparagus

Asparagus spears snap off naturally where they are tough. Simply bend the spear near the bottom end and it will break off at the right point.

This is a nice light salad to go with chicken, shrimp, steak, you name it. We double the veggies in it and add extra mustard. It is even good warm. We will make it more this summer to go with BBQ. Would be good to take on picnic's too!

I ADDED 1 CUP OF DICED COOKED CHICKEN BREAST. ALSO, TRIED WITH THE GREEN PEPPER AND RED PEPPERS. THIS RECIPE WAS VERY GOOD.

I made it for a potluck at a class I am taking, doubling the recipe. However, I also added some chopped red and green peppers. There was none to bring home.
