    One thing I knew before I met SP, how to "jiggle" a recipe. One thing I learned from SP, portion control.
    Halve the cheese and dressing, reduce oil to 1 tsp, double the asparagus.
    Now you have 143.6 cal, 10.9 fat/2.1 sat, 5.8 carb/.7 sug, 6.8 prot, 240 sod.
    Much healthier :)
    Learn to jiggle :) - 4/22/12

    We do a similar dish using halved grape tomatoes rather than radishes. Good color. - 3/28/12

    A nice twist on asparagus, this is delicious. The radishes add a nice bit of color, but I will probably leave them out next time around. - 3/20/12

    I made it without the egg but with the addition of sliced red peppers and black olive slices...so good. An entire large bowl disappeared at a recent pot luck.. even people who didn't like asparagus raved. - 5/8/12

    I will make this salad,but limit the amount of dressing I use. I usually stick to olive oil and lemon. With the cheese it already has the flavor of a caesar dressing. Any dressing I mix up will be less calories than a commercial one.
    Post the nutritional value of product being advertised. - 4/22/12
