Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • 8 fresh mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 large avocado - peeled, pitted, and cubed

  • 1 zucchini, diced

  • 1 large tomato, seeded and chopped

  • 1 red onion, sliced

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon dried basil

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Place asparagus and water into a dish, cover, and microwave on high for 3 minutes; stir. Continue microwaving until asparagus are bright green and slightly tender, 2 to 3 more minutes. Drain and cool.

  2. Toss asparagus, mushrooms, avocado, zucchini, tomato, and red onion gently in a large salad bowl. Combine lemon juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, basil, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; cover and shake dressing to mix. Pour dressing over salad and toss again to coat. Cover salad and refrigerate until serving time.
