I created this recipe years ago. I wanted to serve a cold dish in place of a hot vegetable at a dinner we were having. I've found most everyone likes asparagus prepared this way.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I actually really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is really good and it helps to balance out the bitterness of the asparagus.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I always have some leftover after making asparagus soup, and this is a great way to use it up.

This is my new favorite summer salad! It's so refreshing and flavorful. I love the contrast between the sweet tomatoes and the slightly bitter asparagus.

Not bad, but not great. The tomatoes were a bit bland and the dressing was a little too oily for my taste.

Easy to make and delicious! I used fresh asparagus from my garden and the flavor was amazing. The dressing is simple but really brings out the flavors of the vegetables.
