  2. I made this tonight to accompany grilled Mahi Mahi.  It was so delish!  I grilled the asparagus since I was also grilling the fish but otherwise followed the recipe as written.  It was an easy recipe to follow and quick to whip up.  The vinaigrette was amazing.  I will definitely make this salad again…..probably tomorrow.
