    Delicious Asparagus Salad
    Ivy & Andy Larson, MD

    Many people think eating a salad of any sort should automatically score them big points in the healthy eating department. Unfortunately, salads arent always healthy. Pile on the wrong sort of toppings (think globs of cheese, heavy cream-based dressings, processed meats, bacon bits, croutons made with refined flour and empty-calorie vegetable oils, etc.) and a salad can quickly turn into a total...
