Low Carb Asparagus, Tomato Salad

This Low Carb Asparagus Tomato Salad is just in time for the fresh asparagus season.
I love this salad, the combination of asparagus, tomatoes, feta cheese, pecans and balsamic makes my taste buds come alive. It is amazing how this combination works so well together, beautiful in color and I never have any left overs when I serve it.

Dressing

6 Tablespoons balsamic

1/4 cup olive oil

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons sugar free pancake syrup

1 glove of minced garlic

salt and pepper to taste

Salad
2 lbs asparagus

1 10.5 oz cherry tomatoes

2/3 cups crushed pecans

4 oz feta cheese

Cut bad ends of asparagus and discard. Cut the healthy asparagus into one inch pieces.

Place asparagus in a steamer and steam for 10 to 15 minutes or boil some water ,add asparagus and boil for 4 minutes. Remove from water or steamer and let sit in ice water for 10 minutes.

Drain asparagus well and place in a serving bowl with tomatoes, 1/2 of feta cheese, pecans and  pour on dressing and mix well.

Take the left over feta and sprinkle on top. (The dressing will make the feta brown so save 1/2 for the top.
