Instructions
- Fill a large saucepan with one inch of water. Set a steamer basket over the water, making certain that the basket does not touch the water. Place asparagus in the basket, cover saucepan and bring the water to a simmer. Steam the asparagus until the tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.
- Plunge the asparagus into a large bowl of very cold water. This will stop the asparagus from cooking and will help to retain the bright green color.
- Place the asparagus on a serving platter and top with hazelnuts, dried cherries and vinaigrette. Serve.
The dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. While whisking constantly, slowly pour in hazelnut (or olive) oil.
