Spring Asparagus Salad with Tangy Avocado Lemon Vinaigrette is a spring salad that comes together quickly with fresh taste with fresh vegetables and zing in the vinaigrette, which makes someone think it is perfect for a side dish.
Spring is on its way! And I am getting ready with my Asparagus Salad with Tangy Avocado Lemon Vinaigrette. It is beautiful, fresh, healthy, and so vibrant.
My spring salad is made with simple, fresh ingredients, asparagus, cucumbers, and chili peppers. The salad is drizzled with an amazing avocado lemon vinaigrette. The dressing only takes minutes to make and adds so much freshness.
The salad can be made a day before serving, and leftovers are welcome. The ingredients marry together and are heightened to a new level of flavor.
Asparagus is blanched for the best texture and holds up in the vinaigrette for days. I like to use English cucumbers with the skin stripped to hold up in the vinaigrette in the refrigerator.
