This simple yet elegant side dish blends asparagus with blue cheese to wow your pallette.

Ingredients

  • 1- 1/2 Tbs red or white wine vinegar
  • 1- 1/2 tsp finely chopped shallot
  • salt as needed
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 2 Tbs olive oil
  • 1- 1/2 lb asparagus, trimmed
  • 3 oz firm blue cheese, chilled
  • 3 Tbs pine nuts, toasted

Directions

  • To make vinaigrette, mix vinegar, shallot, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Whisk in oil; reserve.
  • Blanch asparagus in a frying pan large enough to hold asparagus in one layer. Bring approximately 3 inches of water to a boil. Stir in 1 tablespoon salt. Add asparagus. Cook at a medium boil until fork tender, about 3 minutes, depending on thickness. Drain on paper towel; cool.
  • To assemble, arrange asparagus on a platter; drizzle with vinaigrette. Roll spears to coat with vinaigrette. Shred cheese onto a piece of wax paper, using the small holes of a shredder. Evenly sprinkle shredded cheese over asparagus; scatter pine nuts over cheese.

Preparation Tip: Recipe can be made ahead. Refrigerate vinaigrette and cooled asparagus, tightly sealed. Return to room temperature before serving.
