Now that spring is in full swing and one of my favourite ways to enjoy all the spring produce is in fresh salads. This is a very simple yet delicious springtime salad with tender lollo bionda, chickpeas, white asparagus tips, pine nuts and fresh berries tossed in a flaxseed oil dressing.

- Place all the ingredients for the dressing in a glass jar, close the lid and shake vigorously to mix well. Either use immediately or store it in the fridge until ready to use. Keeps for up to 1 week. Shake well before using.
- Place chopped lollo bionda leaves in two serving bowls. Add in cooked chickpeas and berries. Arrange the white asparagus tips on top and sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over. Garnish with basil leaves.
- Drizzle enough of the dressing over and gently toss to combine. Serve!

A wonderful salad consisting of so much goodness. I would love to try the white asparagus.
Oh yum, so healthy and delucious, I live this time of the year for all those veggies☺
I do like to add a bit of fruit to my salads, it gives a lovely lift. That dressing looks so rich and lovely.
We're been getting tons of berries in our CSA box and this looks like the perfect way to put them to use! Sounds fantastic!!
Angie, this looks and sounds so good, I'm thinking of splurging on pine nuts and flaxseed oil this week!
Perfect salad for these hot summer days! Love using flaxseed oil; so healthy, XOXO
Lovely! It's almost too pretty to eat... almost!
Very fun and fresh salad, and I have flaxseed oil actually!
Does flaxseed oil have much of a flavor? I love salads with fresh fruit in them.
Dear Angie, Looks like a great lunch or side salad. xo Catherine
You've reminded me that sometimes a good salad, fresh season produce, is all you need for a good meal. I'm also curious about flaxseed oil since I haven't tried it.
So pretty, Angie! I would welcome that salad at my dinner table any day.
Lovely for this warm weather.
Both your berry laden salad and your fabulous dressing would be perfect for this holiday weekend!
I should take vinegerate lessons from u. I am hopeless when it comes to balancing the flavors love the colourful salad
I love spring and everything it brings :)
This is such a pretty salad, Angie! I love the white asparagus tips and could seriously eat this every day! :)
I have never used flaxseed oil but they are selling it in the organic shop I am working in. Interesting. Will try this. Beautiful salad!
Oh hello summertime Angie!
What a beautiful recipe! I can't even imagine how lush those flavours are.
un mélange de saveurs dans cette belle salade j'aime beaucoup
bonne soirée
This salad has so much flavor. I love all the berries that are in this one. Sounds super delicious!
Salad looks appetising and great clicks, Angie!
I used to buy flaxseed oil all the time, but I haven't for ages, thanks for the reminder! I had to look up lollo bionda. The white asparagus tips look amazing. I am off using pine nuts because they have become so ridiculously expensive and the more affordable ones are imported from China and many people have had adverse reactions to eating them, changing the taste of food for months afterward.
What a lovely salad & I love that tasty dressing too! So healthy, dear Angie! I am just back to blogging! I missed your tasty original posts a lot! ;) MMMMMM!
What a wonderful salad! I love fruit and vegetable combinations.
This is one great salad, Angie! Lots of flavor and it's pretty too!
Gorgeous salad, Angie. I love these perfect summer dishes you're posting. The dressing for this one sounds super flavorful!! Bookmarked this one!!
Very colorful, healthy and shouts spring. Never tried flax seed oil must get some.
what a tempting salad! i love the colors, and the dressing couldn't me more appropriate. :)
Hi Angie, oh do I ever love your salads, always so fresh. I love leaf lettuce and enjoy it quite often for lunch. Chick peas, berries and asparagus sounds like a match made in heaven, love the dressing too.
looks wonderful and lovely presentation
Spring is a fabulous time of the year for salads! We try to have one every night so finding creative jewels like this is exciting! Have never used flaxseed for a salad dressing. Sounds very interesting and what a lovely salad!
I love everything on your Spring salad, Angie! and it looks so festive!
Love all yours beautiful salads ANgie! This look awesome!
This flaxseed oil dressing looks good. I love addition of asparagus tips. Have a great week Angie :)
This is a gorgeous Spring salad. I'm trying to incorporate more salads into my family's diet and always looking for new ideas! Can't wait to try this one out.
This looks delightful, Angie. As fresh as spring!
I remember when my mom and I used to subsist on flaxseed oil dressings. She would make GALLONS worth (without maple syrup) and dress her HUGE SALADS every night with it. It was delicious. I have to say, I do miss them!
Such a healthy and yummy salad. It looks too refreshing. :)
Veggies, fruits, chickpeas all in a salad, a meal by itself, yumm..
What a beautiful salad Angie...I am loving all the fresh berries and the chickpeas...great as a meal!
Have a wonderful week ahead :)

I'm really craving salads at this time of the year. This looks terrific! That dressing looks yummy. Thanks!
What a lovely looking salad, I love using berries for salads as well, I like the tanginess and extra flavor they bring.
Such a delicious, healthy and refreshing looking salad, Angie. I have flaxseed oil, but I have never used it, and this recipes sounds like a good start. :)
I love a salad with berries, it's such fun in the warm weather, and can you believe it, I've never used flaxseed oil, and I know it's so good for you. This is a stunner, Angie!
What is a tender lollobionda?

@ANDY GIBBS It's a kind of leafy salad. Other leafy salad would be just great too.
I always add fruit to my salads, my hubby thinks I'm a bit weird but I love it. This looks lovely Angie.
A beautiful bowl of healthy and yummy salad !
Such a delightful salad recipe which I have to try!
The salad dressing sounds amazing!! Love the idea of using berries in salads! Must try it soon :D
These in-season fresh produce makes the salad extra beautiful and healthy.
This is so pretty Angie and anything with that wonderful white asparagus gets my vote!
With the weather as hot as it is right now, it's salad all the way. Having said that I'm currently baking - it's not pleasant!
Lovely salad bowl,i so love all the colour or veggies selected for this salad.. This is so pleasing!!
