Asparagus, Green Onion, Cucumber, and Herb SaladCraig Cutler

This fresh salad could be served family-style with the rest of the meal or as a plated first course.

Ingredient tip:

Chervil is an aromatic herb that's related to parsley. It has lacy, fern-like leaves and a mild anise flavor. Look for fresh chervil with the rest of the fresh herbs in the produce section. If you can't find individually packaged chervil, it is often one of the fresh herbs included in the packaged "seafood mix."
