Asparagus salad

Ah, time for Asparagus.
Green Asparagus, roasted on the grill or the white one in a hollandaise sauce with ham or as a salad or even in a Risotto or a soup. Asparagus is great.

This salad is just plain refreshing.


1 pound green or white Asparagus, cut in 1 inch pieces

1 tsp. salt
1 tbs. vinegar
1/2 tsp. sugar
2 tbs. mayonnaise
4 tbs. parsley, chopped
1/4 cup whipping cream

2 tomatoes, chopped
2 slices pineapple, cut in chunks
1 cup chicken, cooked and chopped or 1/2 cup of ham, cut in strips

Cook the Asparagus in saltwater for about 5 minutes. You still want them crunchy, not mushy.
Drain in a colander and set aside to cool.

With the salt, vinegar,sugar, mayonnaise, whipping cream and parsley make a dressing.
Combine the cooled Asparagus, dressing, tomatoes, pineapple and chicken/ ham and toss lightly to coat everything with the dressing.
