Author Notes
I love spring time! The flowers are starting to bloom and the produce is so beautiful. If I'm ever short on recipe inspiration the first place I go is to my local farmers market. The assortment of beautiful produce gives me life and that is exactly what this salad does!
The combination of the crunch from the asparagus and fennel paired with the brightness of the citrus is truly all you want and need in a spring salad. Plus, the colors in this salad is stunning so it’s perfect if you want to entertain with it.
