Tips:

- Preparing Asparagus: For best results, blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to retain its vibrant color and crisp texture.

- Herb Insights: Fresh herbs can elevate the flavor of the dressing. If available, use fresh dill and chives instead of dried versions.

- Mixing the Dressing: Whisk the dried milk, mayonnaise, vinegar, black pepper, salt, and minced garlic until smooth. Adjust the seasoning as needed before tossing it with the salad.

- Storing Leftovers: Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The dressing can be stored separately for up to a week.
