Lemon Asparagus Salad
We love a salad that is filled with more veggies and fruit than lettuce! Drizzled with lemon vinaigrette, this salad has a light and flavorful crisp crunch in every bite.

Lemon Asparagus Salad Directions
- Heat the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt over medium-high heat until the sugar and salt dissolve, about 1 minute. Let cool and add the onions and peppercorns. Let sit for 1 hour.
- To make the salad, boil the asparagus in a large pot of water for 3-5 minutes. Rinse with cold water. In a large bowl toss together, boiled eggs, spinach, radishes, peas, feta cheese, and pickled red onion.
- To make the vinaigrette, place all the ingredients into a jar and shake until mixed. Pour over the salad.
