Everyone has “those” recipes. Those that:

This is one of those recipes for me.

Growing up, this side dish graced our table for special occasions. Sunday suppers, Easter brunches, or weekend cookouts with family and friends. Every time it showed up on the menu, I repeatedly had seconds (or thirds), resulting in my unconscious love for this delightful veggie salad. I never knew how much  I “missed” it until the next time it was part of the mealtime lineup.
Now, fast forward approximately 10 years and imagine stumbling across this recipe, which hasn’t been made in my kitchen for that time period.
YEAH. Let’s just say this salad has been the only thing I’ve been making for the better part of two weeks.

And the best part?! It couldn’t get any easier to make:

AND JUST LIKE THAT…you have a new favorite veg side to serve all summer long.
Although this combination of asparagus, snow peas, red bell pepper, and mushrooms tend to be my favorite, feel free to swap in your favorite fresh ingredients! The vinaigrette  is incredibly light and does a wonderful job marinating the raw veg.
Read: perfectly crunchy, slightly softened, and incredibly addictive.

 HOLY ASPARAGUS, this one’s good you guys.
