AAAbsolutley Summertastic

Light fare is definitely most popular in these steamy summer months. Fresh veggies fill the farmers market and it always seems like people are sipping on lemonades and green teas. So why not have the best of both worlds!?!!? Well, you can. Avocado, artichokes, and asparagus soak up the sun in a vinaigrette MADE with MADE Half&Half (half green tea and half lemonade). The earthy-ness of the green tea brings out the freshness in the veggies and lemonade adds a pungent kick! Learn to love every veggie with this triple A salad :)

Bunch of Asparagus, steamed and cut into 2 inch pieces
3 artichoke hearts, chopped
1/2 avocado, cubed

1 T salad vinegar
