   4      ounces        asparagus, trimmed -- cut in 1" pieces
   1      medium        cucumber -- seeded, coarse chop
   1      medium        tomato -- coarsely chopped
     1/4  cup           finely chopped red onion
   1      tablespoon    chopped fresh parsley
   2      tablespoons   fresh lemon juice
     1/4  teaspoon      dried thyme leaves

   To blanch asparagus, in medium saucepan bring 3 cups water to a
boil.  Add asparagus; cook 30 seconds to blanch.  Immediately drain;
rinse with cold water.
   In large bowl, combine blanched sparagus and remaining ingredients;
too gently to coat.  If desired, serve on lettuce-lined plates.
