Asparagus Tomato Salad with Gorgonzola

tomato asparagus salad 256b
You can be as creative as you want with your dressing but, like the salad, I wanted to keep it simple.  Extra virgin olive oil, Dijon, lemon and some salt and pepper made the flavors pop in this dish.  Asparagus tomato salad will be a hit with friends and family any time and it’s so quick to throw together.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
