Asparagus Tomato Salad

*Note: Can be served hot or cold

2-4 Servings

Ingredients:

1 bunch asparagus, finely chopped

1 pint baby tomatoes, diced

½ onion, diced

Mixed greens (if desired)

1 Tb lemon juice

1 Tb avocado or MCT oil

Salt and Pepper

Directions:

  1. Add ½ Tb oil to sauce pan and preheat to medium.
  2. Add onion, and asparagus and cook until ‘al-dente’: typically 2-3 minutes, depending on thickness.
  3. Remove from heat, add tomatoes and toss with lemon juice and pepper.  Serve as is, or over mixed greens (see next step).
  4. Place mixed greens in a bowl, and toss with remaining ½ Tb oil, salt and pepper. Toss gently with cooked vegetables.  Serve immediately, or refrigerate and serve cold. Make multiple batches – makes great leftovers for 2-3 days.
