Chilled Asparagus Salad

SUBMITTED BY: Kathy Willis

"My sister served this salad one night when we were dinner guests. It's very easy to prepare, and the cool tangy change from eating asparagus as a hot side dish makes one sit up and take notice. My brother-in-law gets credit for creating the unique delicious salad. -Kathy Willis, Pryor, Oklahoma"

This is a great recipe. I sprinkled (store bought) real bacon bits on top also. It was definatly an impressive salad, and a keeper. I suggest that you try it. I would think that it may work with Broccoli Spears also.
