I found this salad to be a bit too oily. I would recommend using less olive oil in the dressing.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more herbs or spices to the dressing.

I'm not a fan of asparagus, but I really enjoyed this salad. The black beans and avocado added a nice creaminess that balanced out the bitterness of the asparagus.
