Watermelon Asparagus Salad with Honey-Lime Dressing

Too hot to cook? Make this. 🍉🌿Juicy watermelon + shaved asparagus + crumbled feta + pistachios + a little romaine, all tossed in a quick honey-lime dressing with fresh mint and basil. It's salty, sweet, crunchy, and completely refreshing, the only thing I want to eat when it's 90 degrees outside.
