Asparagus Salad

Want a twist to your asparagus!? 
Well why not shred it with a peel wrong and create a salad!? 
Delicious and sooo nutritious!! 


Asparagus is loaded with vitamin A, C, E, and K.  Along with chromium, fiber and folate. It helps to enhance the ability of insulin to transport glucose from the bloodstream trough trace minerals.    It also helps to detox the body through glutathione.  It may even protect against certain cancers such as bone, breast, Colin and lung cancer. It is also packed with antioxidants and anti aging properties.    So why not eat it!? (Some people are scared of it! Maybe it was prepared awfully as a kid and they don't want to have it again... But trust me- its worth it and it's good!)   

So take your asparagus and break the ends off.  This will get all the stringy hard part off ! (Don't cut the ends) 

Then use a peeler to peel the asparagus so it looks like this ...
Then top it with some goodies am dressing! 

I added canned water packed Tuna with a squeeze of lemon 
And balsamic . 
And you get this.... 
You can add some more spices to it or basil, oregano or tomato.  But I need to go shopping so mine wasn't as spruced up.  But still awesome!!! 

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
