Asparagus and Tomato Salad image

Our house is full of asparagus "fans"-my husband, our daughter and I can't get enough of it! My recipe is one I created years ago. I wanted to serve a cold dish in place of a hot vegetable at a dinner we were having for family and friends, and this salad was the result. I've found people who don't normally care for asparagus enjoy it prepared this way.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I also found the asparagus to be a bit tough. I would not make this salad again.
