Trim asparagus and cut each stalk in thirds. Steam until tender but still crisp. (Thin young stalks took 5 minutes.) Plunge in ice water; drain. Wash strawberries, then hull. Cut strawberries in half; combine with asparagus. Combine dressing ingredients; toss asparagus and strawberries gently with dressing. Chill well before serving. The authors write: What could be simpler - or more delicious - than spring s first asparagus combined with spring s first strawberries? My notes: Good, and simple. Tried 02/22/92.
