If you purchased some fresh spring asparagus from your local farmer’s market, consider turning some into a salad. Blanching the asparagus makes it tender-crisp, and retains the vibrant green color. Chop up some boiled eggs and crisp bacon, and you have a lovely spring salad that could be a side dish or a light lunch. Drizzle it with homemade honey-balsamic dressing.
