    Asparagus Salad with Caesar Vinaigrette


    Ingredients
    20 asparagus spears (about 1 1/4 pounds)
    4 cups gourmet salad greens
    3 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
    1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
    1 teaspoon water
    1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste
    1/8 teaspoon pepper
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1/4 cup garlic-flavored croutons
    Chopped fresh parsley (optional)


    Preparation
    Snap off tough ends of asparagus; remove scales with a knife or vegetable peeler, if desired. Steam asparagus, covered, 4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Rinse under cold water; drain well.
    Arrange 1 cup greens on 4 plates; top each serving with 5 asparagus spears. Combine vinegar and next 5 ingredients (vinegar through garlic) in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk. Drizzle 1 tablespoon vinaigrette over each serving; top each with 1 tablespoon croutons. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.

    Yield
    4 servings
