DRESSING
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.
