This recipe makes a very big salad, nearly enough for a main course, and it certainly makes good use of spring ingredients. The avocado dressing had a nice taste to it, although I did find it a bit thick. Next time I might add a bit more lemon juice or olive oil to thin it out a bit. I also prefer red onions to spring onions, since the salad is very green with the asparagus, spinach and broccoli. It's nice to add a bit more colour.
