Pea and Asparagus Salad

Serves 4

Ingredients:
1 lb. asparagus, trimmed
1 1/2 cup salad green mix, washed and dried
1/2 small head Bibb or Butter lettuce, washed and dried
3/4 cup fresh shelled peas, (lightly blanched, if desired)
3 Tb. chives, chopped
1 Tb. parsley, chopped
1/4 cup salad dressing or vinaigrette
bowl of ice water

Method:

1. Peel thick stemmed asparagus about halfway up stalk.

4. Combine the lettuces, chives and parsley in a large bowl. Pour half the vinaigrette or salad dressing over the greens. Do not drench the lettuces with dressing.
