Asparagus and chicken salad
Description
However, if your family isn't put off by unexpected ingredient combinations, try making this dish on a weekday and watch their reactions—this salad, which fully deserves the name "Surprise," either wins people over instantly and forever, or provokes the exact opposite reaction. In my family, opinions were split roughly 50/50. The most challenging part of the recipe for asparagus and chicken salad is making the sauce—it should be perfectly smooth, creamy, and not too salty, since sweet fruits are included in the salad. But since this is a step-by-step recipe with photos, I'm sure you'll manage just fine ;) Good luck!
