Spring Salad with Asparagus and Radishes

Whether they are thick or thin, use asparagus stalks of approximately the same size so that they cook evenly.

Yield: 2 servings (serving size: 1 1/2 cups)

Ingredients

• 1  cup  (1-inch) diagonally sliced asparagus (about 6 ounces)
• 3  cups  gourmet salad greens
• 3  thinly sliced radishes
• 1 1/2  tablespoons  fat-free red wine vinaigrette (such as Girard's)
• 1/2  teaspoon  country-style Dijon mustard
• 1 1/2  tablespoons  (about 1/2 ounce) finely crumbled feta cheese

Preparation

Steam the asparagus, covered, 3 minutes or until tender. Rinse asparagus with cold water, and pat dry. Combine the asparagus, greens, and radishes in a large bowl. Combine the dressing and mustard in a small bowl, and stir well with a whisk. Add the vinaigrette and feta to salad, tossing gently to coat.

Note: You can prepare the greens, asparagus, and radishes up to an hour ahead. Combine them in a large bowl; cover with a paper towel and chill.
