Asparagus and Arugula Salad

This is the perfect summer salad! 

I had a salad similar to this at California Pizza Kitchen and fell in love with it. So, I decided to create my own version. 

Served cold, it has a crispness from the greens, a nice crunch from the asparagus, some salt from the almonds, a touch of citrus in the dressing and a punch from the sun-dried tomatoes.
