Steps:
- Wash, dry and prep veggies and shrimp.
- You'll want to cook the asparagus first. You can either steam it or blanche it in boiling water. If you're going the steaming route, place a steamer basket in a large pot and add a few inches of water. Bring to a boil and then add asparagus. Cover and cook 4-6 minutes, or until tender but still has a bit of a bite. You don't want mushy asparagus! Remove from steamer basket and let cool. If you're blanching, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add asparagus. Cook 2-4 minutes, or until tender but still has a bit of a bite. Drain and let cool. Cooking time for steaming and blanching will depend on the size of your spears.
- While the asparagus is cooking, whisk together the 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice and dijon for the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the asparagus is cooling, cook the shrimp. Season your shrimp with salt and pepper and if you have any other herb blend you like to use, add that too! I used a garlic herb blend. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet. Add shrimp and cook 2-3 minutes on medium-high heat or until opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat.
- To assemble the salad, place the asparagus, shrimp, avocado, tomatoes and basil in a bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over it and lightly toss to combine and coat. Season again with salt and pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Steps:
- To make the dressing: In the bowl of a food processor or mini chopper, add the walnuts, shallots and garlic. Pulse until the walnuts are crumbly but the mixture is starting to get a little pasty. Add the oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- For the salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with cold water and ice and set aside. Cook the asparagus until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer immediately to the ice bath to chill for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Cut diagonally on a long, sharp bias into 2-inch pieces. Add to a serving bowl.
- Add the radishes to the asparagus. Squeeze the lemon juice over the vegetables and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Gently toss. Spoon the dressing over the salad and toss again. Arrange the avocado over the salad, then garnish with the tarragon and serve immediately.

Steps:

- 2 Divide the asparagus strips among 4 salad plates. Cut each avocado half into 4 sections and place 2 wedges on each salad. Sprinkle with the mint leaves. Squeeze lime juice over the salads, drizzle evenly with the oil, and sprinkle with salt.
Tips:
- For the freshest and most flavorful salad, use ripe avocados, crisp asparagus, and juicy shrimp.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat until they are pink and opaque.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked shrimp.
- If you don't have lemon juice, you can use lime juice or white vinegar.
- Garnish the salad with fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or basil.
