Strawberries and asparagus are two of nature’s most delicious gifts when spring comes around. Tender baby spinach is topped with bite-size segments of steamed asparagus, thinly sliced red onion and chilled slices of strawberry. All is tossed in a fruity raspberry vinaigrette and topped with crumbles of creamy (and delightfully salty) blue or feta cheese.
Directions
- Break off woody ends of asparagus (1"" to 1 1/2"" of bottom) and discard. Cut remaining asparagus spears into 1"" lengths. Place in a microwaveable dish with water. Microwave on HIGH power for 3 minutes. Immediately rinse asparagus under cold water for 1 minute; drain well.
- Place salad blend, drained asparagus, strawberries, onion and cheese in a large bowl. Pour dressing over salad; toss to evenly coat. Sprinkle cheese over salad
