To Make the Spring Salad:
- Rinse all of the vegetables well and chop off the tough ends of the asparagus and discard.
- Run a vegetable peeler (or potato peeler) down the full length of each stalk of asparagus, adding the shavings to a large salad bowl.
- Once you get down to the center of the asparagus and it becomes difficult to peel, you can chop the remaining parts finely and add it to the salad.

- Pour all of the lemon-parsley dressing over the salad and toss well.
- If desired, serve the salad with chopped hard boiled eggs and avocado.
