Asparagus Berry Salad

This is one of our absolute favorite recipes.  Our family of 5 will eat the whole thing for a meal, no problem.  And our kids are only 2, 4, and 6!  We eat it several times every spring.  This is one of the tastiest salads I have ever had, and I love serving it to guests.  In fact, I was thinking we'd have it with our Easter meal this year.

Asparagus Berry Salad

1 lb. Asparagus - trimmed and cut into 1" pieces
3 tbsp. Olive oil - divided
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Pepper
1 bag Salad greens
1 lb. Strawberries - trimmed and quartered
1/4 small Onion - sliced thin
1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts - toasted
2 tbsp. Sherry
2 tsp. Sugar

In a seal-able container, toss the asparagus with 1 tbsp. oil. Spread on a cookie sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. In a large bowl, mix greens, strawberries, onions, walnuts, and asparagus. In a small bowl, whisk sherry, sugar, and remaining oil. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat.
