    Made this wonderful salad for one of our holiday dinners. Added a little garlic and flour to the mushrooms when sauteing. Honey is a must for the vinaigrette. Great flavor and so easy.

    Amazing salad..... everyone at the party loves this salad!!!! People were asking me for the recipe... 1 did some changes ( I add 1 tablespoon of honey to vinaigrette, so it wasn't that tangy. Instead of grilled asparagus, I boil it for 2-3 minutes and than put it in a bowl of ice water, to stop cooking process.

    My friend made this as a starter for dinner and I absolutely loved it. She did make it from the Mesa cookbook which used honey and less dijon mustard and from what the other reviewers said, that's the way to go. I decided to make this for my lunch all week and I'll use the Mesa recipe as well.
