This is a great recipe, I would suggest using romaine lettuce, don't cook the vinaigrette with the asparagus add it separate after the asparagus is cooked. I tend to double the vinaigrette ingredients because it doesn't make enough, I also use half white vinegar and half cider vinegar. Our family has this with dinner quite often.

This was great! But I made it with whole wheat pasta instead of the greens for a more hardy meal. Will definitely make again!

Lovely early summer salad. I used romaine and it held up really well to the warm dressing. I also made this with vegetarian bacon because, well, I'm a vegetarian - and it was awesome!

Was a quick and delicious way to eat asparagus. I left out the salad greens and used 2 pounds of asparagus instead. I poached the eggs instead of boiling them and the gooey/runny york made it yummy with fresh baguette. A keeper :)

Totally Yummy!! This is restaurant quality. A few changes I made: 1. I used 5 oz. of real bacon bits 2. I sauteed the cut asparagus in canola oil along with sliced mushrooms 3. I didn't have almonds, but used an oriental salad topper that did, BUT I sprinkled it on as I ate it. It definitely needed a crunchy something. This would also be yummy with grilled salmon for a healthy meal. I will make it again soon!

I loved this salad. It wasn't too greasy (just gotta eyeball the drippings and get rid of alot of it), loved the tang/sweet taste to it. Think next time I'll make more "dressing" and use a little more mustard. This is a fav of mine, thanks for sharing. I also added some quartered campari tomatoes at the end and tossed them with everything else.

I tried this for the first time last night and I really liked it. I will make it again, maybe changing up some of the ingredients. I like it because it looks a little fancier and different from just an everyday salad.

Loved it! I cut and prepared everything before I went to work and it took about a half hour to make it. Great taste.

YUM! I've made this twice this weekend and my family and friends practically inhaled it. I did use spinach instead of other greens and it was perfect. I will definitly be making this a lot. Thanks for a great recipe!

This is great! I took previous reviewers advice and used spinach and romaine, added more bacon and chopped eggs, threw in a bunch of garlic.....everyone had seconds. This definitely stays in the front of the recipe box when asparagus is in season. I want to try it with broccoli florets soon.

Very disappointing. The asparagus had a kind of funny/tangy flavor that really stood out in the salad. Even my father, who usually likes everything, didn't like this. Not a recipe I'll use again.

I LOVE this salad. It has great flavor and everyone in the family liked it. Takes a little more time than some salads, but it's worth it. I like it with spinach which seems to hold up better than lettuce.

My husband loved this salad. I had mixed feelings. I didn't think it had enough dressing, so I ended up adding some balsamic vinegar. And the leftovers certainly didn't store well (not that dressed salads normally do). But it is certainly worth making again. I omitted the eggs and used baby spinach for the greens, which worked out really well.
