Directions
Place chicken in a saucepan. Cover with water. Simmer for 20 minutes until done. Remove. Cool.
Wash asparagus. Snap off stalks at the point of tenderness. Partially fill a large skillet with water. Bring to boil. Add asparagus. Cover and heat until water comes back to a boil. Uncover. Boil slowly for 4 to 5 minutes until spears bend a little when lifted. Drain. Cool.
With a knife, shred half of the lettuce. Place in a large salad bowl. Combine the dressing ingredients. Shake until blended. Drizzle half of the dressing over the lettuce. Shred the chicken.
Slice the asparagus into 2-inch diagonal pieces. Combine with the lettuce. Drizzle with remaining dressing. Garnish with lemon slices. Serve, sprinkled with almonds, if desired.
