List of Ingredients
8 c. baby spinach leaves
1 lb. asparagus spears
1 small jar artichoke hearts, drained, and each cut in half
2 c. fresh strawberries, washed and sliced or blueberries, washed
Feta or Goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 c. pecan or almond pieces, toasted
Dressing

Recipe
Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and discard. Take the rest of the asparagus, and cut them into 1" pieces. Blanch them in boiling, salted water for a couple of mins., until just crisp-tender.
Drain the asparagus, and plunge in cold water until completely cooled. Drain again.
Meanwhile, for the dressing, blend together Poppy Seed dressing, orange peel, and orange juice.
In a salad bowl combine the spinach, asparagus, artichokes, and strawberries. Lightly toss with the dressing.
Place on serving plates, and garnish with toasted nuts, and cheese.
