Very good salad that is a bit different from the rest. I had to make some minor subsitutions by using regular mushrooms and since I used less than 1 pound of skinny asparagus I used the whole half pound of mushrooms. I also used a green pepper instead of red and used balsamic vinegar in place of the red wine vinegar. Even with all these changes I think the salad stayed about the same proportion and taste wise as the original recipe and we enjoyed this salad very much with salmon, but I think it would also be wonderful with steak or chicken. Thanks Chia for sharing this keeper which I will be making again!
