Belongs to kylerhea Spring Salad 

“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!”

Unbelievably decadent. To make this really over the top, dip them in melted chocolate after stuffing them. You can get mascarpone in Italian markets and some supermarkets. It’s similar, but much more expensive than cream cheese, which could be substituted.
