Nutritional values

Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, which help protect the body against free radical damage, while asparagus is a great source of nutrients such as folate and fiber.

The asparagus and tomato salad is a quick and light lunch, but you can serve it with a slice of whole-wheat bread to make it more filling. You can also replace the shrimp with smoked salmon to give you an extra portion of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
