Such a beautiful and delicious salad!
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.
