SUPER FOODS SALAD WITH CHIVE VINAIGRETTE Recipe
By la vita
Asparagus,fresh blueberries and salmon are very healthy, although I did not think they would work well together in a salad. I was inspired by a recipe form the California Asparagus Commission and tweaked the dressing just a little. I substituted lime juice for the lemon juice and added a sweet chili powder to make the vinaigrette.
