AAA Spring Salad:
1 bunch fresh asparagus cut into bite size pieces. Blanch briefly to preserve color and chill in an ice bath
1 avocado, diced
1 jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (reserve liquid)
Mix together
Dressing: Liquid from artichoke hearts and lemon juice to taste.
I usually triple the recipe for pot lucks.
If you use water packed artichoke hearts, use an Italian dressing with additional lemon juice.
