“Fresh spring fruits and veggies deserve respect and good company. This simple salad takes care of both and can add a wow factor to any meal. Feeling fancy? Drop the raw sliced asparagus into ice water for a minute or two and it will curl into ribbons. In a hurry? Cut the asparagus into thin coins instead. In the dressing, the avocado provides its natural healthy fats for smooth and creamy results. Nobody will know it’s a health-promoting, no-oil-added dressing!”

This is both a good dessert for a formal dinner and a pleasant brunch dish. I’ve also served wedges of it an antipasto, with glasses of prosecco or champagne.

(Makes two 8-inch frittatas, enough for 4 to 6 as an antipasto, 2 as a brunch or lunch dish, or 4 as a dessert)
