White Asparagus & Cranberry Salad

This is a colorful salad perfect for Christmas or Thanksgiving.

Ingredients:

1 bunch of raw white asparagus (sliced on the diagonal)
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 TBS fresh parsley, chopped
3 TBS Olive Oil
1 TBS white balsamic vinegar or champagne vinegar
salt & pepper

You can use your favorite light dressing, but I like the white balsamic because it has a bit of sweetness to it.  You can use the flavored balsamic dressings like apricot, or lemon for a variation.

Wash the asparagus and snap the tough ends off (about 2").  Slice the asparagus on the diagonal.
Toss the ingredients together and serve.
It will keep in the fridge for a day or two.
