Asparagus Salad with Black Truffle Vinaigrette

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   
12 Green Asparagus
1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
Salt and Pepper
2 tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
2 tablespoon Black Truffle Oil
4 tablespoon Sunflower Oil
6 ounces Mesclun (mixed green lettuce)
Parmesan Cheese
 
   
Preparation:  
   
Trim the tough ends of asparagus and blanch 4 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain and refresh immediately in a bowl of iced water. Prepare the vinaigrette: mix the mustard, salt and pepper and vinegar; then add the oils and whisk together. Dress the mixed greens with half of the vinaigrette and divide between 4 four plates; top each plate with three asparagus spears and dot asparagus with remaining vinaigrette. Top the salad with parmesan shavings (use a vegetable peeler on a chunk of parmesan cheese).
