I love to cook and especially enjoy trying new recipes. I took a cooking class and discovered this delightful salad. It's nice for a spring luncheon with the fresh taste of the asparagus, parsley and chives drizzled with a zesty dressing. -Marcy Fechtig, Burnt Prairie, Illinois

I'm always proud to serve this gorgeous salad. And it tastes as good as it looks. This recipe was the breakthrough to get my husband to try asparagus. His response was, "Hey, this is not bad!" He's gone on to eat asparagus in other ways, too.
