Awesome salad. I think this would make a great potluck salad. Although it's asparagus season, my store didn't have fresh asparagus so I used frozen. I also used organic vegetable shells (protein and no salt). Otherwise, made as directed! Delish! Thanks, Sydney Mike! Made for When It's Hot When It's Not July 2010 recipe game.
