I'm not a huge fan of tahini, so I substituted Greek yogurt in the dressing. It was still delicious!

This is a great recipe for a light and healthy summer salad. The asparagus is roasted to perfection and the dressing is flavorful and tangy. I also like the addition of almonds and feta cheese, which add a nice crunch and salty flavor.
