Healthy, Clean-Eating Asparagus Spinach Salad

Im not a huge summer person so the fact that its nearly a month away makes me kinda huff and puff. I dont like sweating and I actually love wearing sweaters and sweatshirts much better than shorts and t-shirts. But I do love salads. And that is really my favorite part of the spring and summerso many delicious things to make salads with!

Asparagus is at the top of my list. I loooove shaving asparagus and adding it to everything from pizzas to pastas and, of course, to salads.

This salad is great, simple but satisfying. The dressing is an absolute favorite of mine. I like to think of this as a very quick-with-less-ingredients than typical green goddess dressing. Green goddess usually has anchovies and lots of mayonnaise. This is healthier and far less complicated: calling for only one type of herb and yogurt. Its creamy and tangy and fresh.

I used spinach in this instance but really some arugula would be great, too. I say get creative and riff. Thats the best part about salads: they can be swapped with so many things. There arent many restrictions.
