This healthy, vegetarian Thai green curry features fresh asparagus, carrots and spinach! It's full of flavor and simple enough for weeknight dinners. Feel free to substitute sliced snow peas for the asparagus if it's not in season where you live. Recipe yields two large servings (as shown) or four small servings.
