Tomato Asparagus Salad with Creamy Dijon Cashew Dressing (No Oil!)

Some salads are side dishes. This one shows up with personality. Juicy tomatoes, crisp-tender asparagus, and sharp red onion come together under a rich, tangy, creamy Dijon dressing made without oil, dairy, or junk. This is real-food flavor—the kind that proves you don’t need a bottle of processed dressing to make salad taste amazing.
