Asparagus & Snap Pea Salad

Asparagus & Snap Pea Salad

Spring unfurls an abundance of bright, fresh produce in every shade of green. Tender lettuces, watercress, and crisp snap peas pair alongside sweet, stalky asparagus in this seasonal salad. Keeping the vinaigrette simple & light allows the unique produce flavors to brightly shine. Spring lettuces can be fragile, so it’s best to put everything together right before you’re ready to serve.
