Asparagus, cleansing to the system, rich in folic acid and other B vitamins and low in calories.

Strawberries, high in vitamin C, rich in antioxidants and cancer-fighting phytonutrients.

How can you go wrong with a Strawberry Asparagus Salad?

Run a simple Google search and you'll find gads of recipes for Asparagus Strawberry salad, like I did when I got the craving and had a bunch of both leftover in the fridge. Inspired by many, and also by the multitudes of avocado in my fridge, my recipe was born.

Ingredients

• 1 small bunch asparagus
• about 1/2 lb. strawberries, sliced
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 bag organic mixed greens

dressing

• 1/4 c. lemon juice
• 2 TB flax seed oil
• 2 TB raw honey
• 1/4 tsp. unrefined sea salt
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1/4 tsp. ground ginger

Coat asparagus with olive oil and grill. Whisk together dressing ingredients. Toss all ingredients with dressing, serve and enjoy.

This was a perfect accompaniment to salmon with raspberry chipotle grilling sauce.
