Spring Asparagus and Strawberry Salad With a Caramel Drizzle
"What a way to bring in the spring and summer?
You'll find yourself at the dinner table going for this in place of anything else. ;)
In mine I left it whole for presentation but it would better if cut as directed and tossed with rest of ingredients. can be served room temperature or chilled for those hot days."

I made this recipe twice now. For Easter and then my daughter's wedding shower. A big hit both times! -
OUTSTANDING SALAD! This is really great! I cut the recipe in half (another time I make it when company's coming!) then used very tender asparagus cut into lengths of about 2" & used a homemade caramel sauce! Again, OUTSTANDING, & definitely a keeper! Thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed as a kidnapped recipe in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #16]
