Peel asparagus by putting it on a board, holding
it at the base, and peeling it toward you, turning it after each strip
is peeled. Cut off thick bases. Rinse asparagus. Put in a medium sate
pan or deep skillet of boiling salted water and cook until just tender,
about 5 or 6 minutes. Meanwhile make dressing: combine remaining ingredients
in a small bowl and beat with a whisk or fork until blended. Transfer
asparagus carefully to a paper towel-lined plate or tray to drain
briefly. Transfer to plates and serve warm, accompanied by dressing.
