1 small head of leaf lettuce, red or green, or half a head of romaine
1 apple, diced or grated
2 T sweet onion, chopped (you can use Walla Walla, Vidalia, or red)
1/3 C nuts, chopped (try toasted pecans, almonds, or walnuts)
1 T lemon juice
2 t olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 lb fresh asparagus

Tear the lettuce into small pieces and put it in a large bowl. Toss together with the apple, onion, and nuts. Stir in the oil and toss to coat. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper and toss.

Cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces and steam or stir-fry. Toss it directly from the pan into the bowl and mix thoroughly with the salad.
