Chopped Asparagus Salad
Leave a review!
The following recipe and photography was provided by Christina Musgrave of Tasting with Tina.
Fresh produce is ripe for the picking, and Heinen’s asparagus is at the top of the crop.
When I saw it in the Produce Department, I knew it needed to make an appearance in my next meal, which turned out to be this simple Chopped Asparagus Salad.
I enjoyed this as my main meal with grilled chicken, but it would also make a vibrant side dish and could even be meal prepped to enjoy throughout the week.
With a variety of flavors and textures, make this your go-to warm weather salad!
