This gorgeous side dish is packed with nutrient-dense vegetables. Ready in under an hour, this spring veggie salad features a full rainbow of color. The light French-inspired dressing brightens the flavors with the tangy addition of Dijon mustard. Plunging the asparagus in cold water after boiling it will stop it from cooking further, keep it crisp yet tender, and maintain the bright green color. Top with some grilled chicken for a quick lunch salad or or serve as a side dish with flank steak or pork tenderloin and some steamed brown rice. This dish is so pretty, take it along to your next potluck or cookout.
