Spring Asparagus Salad

1 small Vidalia onion or small bunch of green onions
1 bunch thin asparagus
1⁄2 box (6-8 oz) Barilla penne pasta
4-6 Roma tomatoes
Fresh parsley or mint, 1⁄2 bunch, rough chopped
1 large fresh mozzarella ball, or a 6 oz container small size fresh mozzarella
 Newman’s Own Family Recipe Italian salad dressing

1. Bring pasta water to a boil. Cut asparagus into length similar to the pasta. Cook pasta, add asparagus during the last minute of cooking. Drain well and chill in a cold water bath, drain.

2. Place pasta and asparagus in a large bowl. Cut roma tomatoes, onions, and mozzarella into chunks the same length as the pasta, add to bowl. Add herbs and dressing to taste. Enjoy.
