SPECIAL STRAWBERRY SPINACH SALAD 
1 lb. asparagus spears
1/2 c. poppy seed or Italian dressing
1 tsp. grated orange peel
1 tbsp. orange juice
8 c. torn fresh spinach or assorted greens
2 c. fresh strawberries, sliced
3/4 to 1 lb. cooked, cubed turkey
1/4 c. pecan halves

NOTE: Fresh blueberries or a mixture of fresh strawberries and blueberries work well, too.

Cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces and microwave until tender-crisp. Cool in cold water and drain. Mix dressing, orange peel and orange juice. Mix asparagus, greens, berries, and turkey. Add dressing and toss. Top with pecans.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
