01
Step 1
Start by putting the asparagus and a little water in a microwave-safe dish. Cover it and microwave on high for about 3 minutes, then give it a quick stir. Keep microwaving in 2 to 3 minute bursts until the asparagus turns a bright green and is just tender. Drain the asparagus and let it cool down.

Step 2
In a large bowl, gently toss together the asparagus, mushrooms, avocado, zucchini, tomato, and red onion. For the dressing, combine lemon juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper in a jar with a tight lid. Shake it well until everything is mixed.

How to serve

Storage & leftovers
