Did you know that more than 90 percent of adults and children don’t eat the daily amount of fruits and vegetables recommended? By just adding one more fruit and/or vegetable to each of your meals, you can feel more energized and healthy.
In honor of September being Fruit and Veggies-More Matters Month, Chef Anthony Stewart, Executive Chef at Pritikin Longevity Center+Spa, has created a fruit and vegetable dish that incorporates the sweet taste of fruits mixed with the hearty flavor of vegetables. This recipe makes 4 servings.

Ive never been a fan of fruit in my salad but this does look tasty!
This looks like a very delicious recipe of which I am going to have to try out. I will try this within the next week or so. Thanks so much.
Thanks for sharing. This sounds delicious
I bet my Mom would love this salad. She likes everything in it!
This is a refreshing delicious recipe and perfect with its combination of fruits and vegetables.
I think I’d cook the asparagus lightly before I put it in this salad.
This is an interesting combination. Both asparagus and oranges have such distinct flavors and I would never have thought to put them together. But I guess that’s why he is a chef and I’m not!!
This looks good like to try this
The fact of the matter is I’m not ready for summer to be over but not everyone will agree and this salad just reinforces that sentiment.
Asparagus and orange is an interesting combination. This is definitely a dish that I would love to try. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
This recipe looks yummy. I love the dressing recipe!
I have got to try this salad out it looks delish and I love asparagus so much.
OK, now you’ve got me! I love asparagus, and oranges, too! Although I had no idea there was a Fruit and Veggies-More Matters Month – good to know! Pinned and planned! (Except I’ll use regular oranges…I don’t like the look of blood oranges. *shiver*
