Asparagus & Radish Salad

Spring is in the air so that means I get to get creative with salads again! I wanted something colourful, crisp, and flavourful, my mind went immediately to asparagus and radish. I added some tomatoes and a lemon vinaigrette to add some acidity to the dish. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
