This cool, colorful salad is a palate-pleaser. Apples and asparagus seem an unlikely match, but they form a terrific trio with chicken. I make this salad quite often while asparagus is in season.

"This is basically a lettuce salad with fresh asparagus and apples, and chicken (I used ham). The dressing had very little flavor, you could barely taste it even with enough on. It's a waste of time unless you absolutely love asparagus, apples and chicken. I would not make this again, or the salad dressing."

"WOW! This is scrumptious!
I'm on my way out the door to my monthly Cooking Club gathering. I hope I don't eat all the salad before I get there. (i've been sampling...LOL)This month our club's theme is "Apple Recipes". I usually make the dessert, but, this month i'm venturing out to a salad. I'm really glad I did. :)"MY REVIEW

"For my daughter's "April Showers" themed baby shower, I made this salad for the luncheon, and used the Umbrella salad idea in this issue to make the umbrellas out of flour tortillas with red pepper handles. The salad is simple to prepare, very colorful and absolutely delicious! Plus, the umbrellas were too cute! Got lots of rave reviews on the salad - it was a definite success.
