Ingredients

Units Scale

1 pound asparagus
2 cups strawberries
1 batch Low-Carb Poppy Seed Dressing
12 lettuce leaves (l’d go with butter lettuce.)
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese or feta cheese

Instructions

Snap the ends off the asparagus where they want to break naturally. Lay the spears on your cutting board and cut it into 1-inch lengths.
Put ’em in a microwaveable casserole with a lid or a microwave steamer, add a couple of tablespoons water, cover, and nuke on High for 3 minutes – you want it tender-crisp and brilliantly green.
When the asparagus is done, uncover it immediately to stop the cooking, drain it, and put it in an ice water bath; then drain and put it in the fridge.
Let it chill for at least 1 hour.
Remove the hulls from the strawberries and quarter them. Put the asparagus and strawberries in your salad bowl. Give the Poppy Seed Dressing a good shake, pour it over the asparagus and strawberries, and toss.
Line 6 plates with the lettuce.
Toss the asparagus and strawberries again and then pile on top of the lettuce.
Top each serving with blue cheese and serve.
