The base is a combo of mache greens and romaine.  Then it’s topped with blanched asparagus, peas, radishes, avocado, and feta.  I made a very simple lemon-dill vinaigrette that uses pantry staples and doesn’t even require fresh dill.  This Spring Green Salad with Asparagus has a little bit of everything going on in there: crunchy lettuce, tart radishes, creamy avocado and the best part – those huge chunks of salty feta.

Planning to bring a dish to Easter?  Bring this!  It’s a light addition to all that ham and those butter covered rolls.  It’s full of nutritious ingredients that will help you fill that belly with some veggies.

  1. I definitely hear the birds chirping this past couple of days! Just yesterday I saw some birds taking the burlap off our trees (I guess for the nest). The sun has been shining (finally) and it’s melting snow. Woo ho! I love a good salad and could eat every day. This one looks so tasty and is packed with so much goodness! Love the asparagus in there and that vinaigrette with dill sounds like the perfect touch!

  2. It does look like spring in a bowl. And frankly, you throw enough avocado on anything and I’ll gobble it up. Thinking about this for an Easter potluck next weekend. Thanks!

  10. Springtime goodness indeed! I really like how you cut the veggies, so rustic with the end and makes me want to dig in with my fork. Yes, I read blogs with a fork in my hand. 🙂
    Love this! Pinned, Tweeted and Shared!

  11. This salad looks absolutely beautiful and I would totally eat it as a complete meal! And I’m all about big chunks of salty feta cheese! So good! I’m so glad there’s a couple salads in the party to help balance out all the sweets!

  14. Spring in a bowl is such a perfect description for this lovely salad. My only fear in making this salad is that I might not be able to wait to put it all together. I like each of the pieces individually! Never hurts to try the ingredients as you are making it right? HA!
