For Salad Dressing:

For Salad:
-
Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and cut each stalk into 1-inch pieces. Heat the butter or oil in a large sauté pan over high heat and cook the asparagus for 2 to 3 minutes, until it’s warmed through and tender but still crisp.
-
Slice the radishes into thin rounds using a mandolin or sharp knife. Toss with the asparagus in a large bowl. Add your choice of lettuce. Optional to add a sprinkling of pumpkin or flax seeds to the salad for crunch and texture.
-
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss. Season with salt and black pepper. Slice the mint leaves very fine and toss them with the vegetables.
