  2. YUM! You had me at asparagus:-) My hubby and I grill with asparagus all summer long:-) I love your gorgeous salad! I think my favorite summer salad goes back to my Grandma’s house. The cucumber, tomato, mayo and vinegar salad is so good, and such a great salad on a warm day! Take care, Hugs, Terra

  3. I have a favourite spring salad and it is also with asparagus. It’s served on a bed of baby spinach leaves, some roasted roma tomatoes, lightly steamed asparagus, then some grilled prosciutto and some shavings of parmesan and dressed with a basil dressing. The colours of the red and the green are just lovely xx
