Notes
- When it comes to cooking the asparagus, you want it barely blanched so that it still has a little crunch to it and also keeps its amazing green colour.
- Be gentle when mixing the salad, as you don't want the asparagus spears to snap.
- Because there is no mayo in this dressing, it makes it great for putting out for a BBQ when entertaining.
- You can toast the pine nuts in a dry pan first for some extra crunch.
