Tender shrimp, crisp asparagus, delicate Bibb lettuce, and juicy cherry tomatoes come together with a creamy chive dressing. Several components can be prepared a day ahead, helping hosts simplify last-minute meal preparation.
Salade Verte—A refreshing, French-inspired green salad featuring tender Bibb lettuce, crisp radishes, cherry tomatoes, and bright green asparagus, complemented by a zesty lemon-shallot vinaigrette.
