Step 1
Start by putting the asparagus and a little water in a microwave-safe dish. Cover it and microwave on high for about 3 minutes, then give it a quick stir. Keep microwaving in 2 to 3-minute bursts until the asparagus turns a bright green and is just tender. Drain the asparagus and let it cool down.

Step 2
Once the asparagus is ready, gently mix it with the mushrooms, avocado, zucchini, tomato, and red onion in a large bowl. For the dressing, combine lemon juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper in a jar with a tight lid. Give it a good shake until everything is well blended.
