Wonderfully tasty salad! Not recommended for those on Low Fat diets. I suppose the ingredients could be changed to reflect lower fat options, however.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I usually add some chopped cooked chicken or tofu for extra protein.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred a more savory dressing.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The asparagus, celery, and onion are all so fresh and crisp. And the dressing is the perfect balance of tangy and creamy.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I usually make it the night before I need it and it always tastes even better the next day.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I thought I'd give this salad a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The asparagus was cooked perfectly and the dressing was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked it more if it had a more flavorful dressing.
