- Divide the salad into two salad plates or bowls. Sprinkle the black cumin seeds and pistachios, if using, over the salad. Serve immediately.

Ribbon Salads are fun to eat, but, I have to admit, I hate making them. They never come out as nicely as yours Angie :) This dressing sounds tasty.
Hi Angie,

Wow dear!! This salad is super tempting. Love the colors. Such a yummy and healthy salad. Love it.
Now this is a plate of goodness! I just bought some at the Farmer's Market and this salad is calling my name, XOXO
What a fabulous salad!! I had some fabulous apricots in Switzerland, so now I hope I can find the same at home. I'd love to try this yummy combination.
The weathers has become so hot here recently and your salad looks so cool and refreshing, Angie! Stone fruits are showing up in stores now and I love them!
Pretty ribbons...look so good. Especially the dressing ingredients with maple syrup. Yum Angie!
Very light and sexy salad perfect for these hot days. You know what, Angie? I've never cooked asparagus in my life... Usually is my other half who cooks it (so well). I'm sure we will try your recipe.
I love your beautiful plates, by the way! Have a great week :)

What a wonderful, and easy, way to enjoy our favorite spring vegetable! Our asparagus is already done, but I am hoping to get more at the farmers market this weekend!
Beautiful and healthy. Looks delish!
A beautiful and delicious summer salad.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Angie! I've never thought of using apricot in a salad. Love this! I picked 25 pounds of apricots yesterday so something very similar to this salad will on the table tomorrow night. Don't have the white asparagus, but have the green and everything for that awesome dressing! YAY!
What a wonderful way to eat asparagus and apricots too. I've not really experimented with raw asparagus, but I feel I need to now.
Love all your salad collection .. This is another beautiful healthy salad to add to the list!!
What a nice salad, Angie .. I will gladly trade my pasta for this.

A great combination of white asparagus and green asparagus, and the addition of sweet apricots makes it perfect.
I love that hint of sweetness the maple syrup must bring this salad.
What a great idea to ribbon the asparagus! I'm going to have to try that! And I'm keeping my eyes out for some good looking apricots, too! Lovely salad, Angie! :)
