LEMONY ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH SHAVED CHEESE AND NUTS
Less is more when it comes to asparagus, especially those first tender stalks that show up in spring. Here they're quickly steamed and turned into an elegant salad tossed with a lemony, shallot dressing, and enriched with plenty of grated Manchego or other cheese. Chopped pistachios add another shade of green to the plate along with their sweet crunch, but use any nuts you like, or skip them entirely. This tangy, bright salad doesn't need them.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, spread pistachios in an even layer and toast for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool enough to handle, then roughly chop.
- Meanwhile, fill a large skillet with 1-inch water. Place steam basket on top, cover and bring to a simmer. Steam asparagus until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.
- Finely chop 3 tablespoons mixed soft herbs. In a medium bowl, combine shallot, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and the pepper, and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk in oil, then stir in pistachios, cheese and chopped herbs.
- To serve, drizzle asparagus with oil and salt to taste. Dollop with dressing, tear remaining 1/2 cup herbs on top, and sprinkle generously with more cheese. Taste and adjust salt as needed.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook until bright green but still slightly crisp in the center, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Repeat with the haricots verts. Dry the asparagus and beans, then slice them into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Rub a bowl with the garlic clove. Add the asparagus, beans, lettuce, pistachios and cheese. Sprinkle with the vinegar and oil. Season generously with pepper and truffle salt. Mix salad until evenly dressed. Fix the seasoning if you need to.

Steps:
- Put a large wide skillet on the stove. Add about 1 inch water, salt it well, cover the skillet, and place over high heat. When water comes to a rapid boil, add asparagus in one layer, cover, and cook for 2 minutes, or just until barely done.
- Drain asparagus and keep warm loosely wrapped in a kitchen towel.
- Return skillet to stovetop over high heat. Add butter and swirl pan, then add chopped sage and sage leaves.
- When butter gets foamy, lightly browned and nutty-smelling, a minute or two, stir in lemon juice and zest and turn the heat to low.
- Put cooked asparagus back in pan and season with salt and pepper. Shake pan gently to coat with butter sauce. Using tongs, transfer asparagus to a large warmed platter. Spoon remaining sauce over asparagus, sprinkle with pistachios and serve.

ASPARAGUS, BEAN AND PISTACHIO SALAD
This falls under the category: Impress the Company! On the other hand, I don't recommend waiting until company comes to try this. It can be prepared ahead of time, adding lettuce, nuts and dressing just before serving. You could also use ricotta salata cheese instead of goat cheese. Go easy on the dressing as per the recipe, as I found it really didn't need much. It's adapted from a recipe found in the New York Times Magazine.
