1 head of asparagus, top 1/3rd cut into pieces
4 oz. spinach, chiffonade the leaves
5 small tomatoes, cut into large chunks

1/4 sweet onion, diced
handful of dulse
3 small slices of serrano, diced
1 small red pepper, diced

Put all veg into bowl.  Spinach is better cut up because will absorb the dressing better.  And when the spinach is cut up it fits better in a bowl and you can fit more in.  Squeeze grapefruit and lime over salad.  Let it soak for 10 mins.
