Asparagus Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
Description
This salad features asparagus that is boiled briefly then cooled to preserve its crunch and vibrant color. Combined with fresh spinach, thinly sliced radishes, halved cherry tomatoes, peas, red onion slices, and crumbled feta cheese, it presents a mix of textures from crisp and juicy to soft and creamy.
The dressing is a simple lemon vinaigrette made by whisking olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper, which adds brightness and acidity to balance the vegetables and cheese.
Ideal for spring or summer meals, this salad can be served as a refreshing side or a light lunch. The lemon vinaigrette can be adjusted to taste, and the salad is best tossed just before serving to keep the ingredients fresh.
