How to Make Asparagus Strawberry Salad With Honey Lime Dressing

**Prepare the Asparagus:** Trim the woody ends from 1 pound of asparagus spears. Steam the spears until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes), then immediately plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve their vibrant green color. Pat dry.
**Toast the Pecans:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 1/2 cup pecan halves on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool completely.
**Prepare the Salad Greens:** Rinse 5 ounces of baby leaf greens thoroughly and gently tear into bite-sized pieces.
**Assemble the Salad:** Arrange the salad greens on 4-6 plates. Fan the asparagus spears over the greens. Top with 1 cup sliced strawberries and sprinkle with the toasted pecans.
**Make the Honey-Lime Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 1 lime, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, and 2 tablespoons sour cream. Adjust honey to taste.
**Serve:** Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the salad and serve immediately. Enjoy!
