Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by boiling a quart of salted water in a large pot over high heat. Add the trimmed asparagus and blanch for 1-2 minutes until they turn bright green and are tender-crisp.
- Immediately transfer the blanched asparagus to an ice water bath to halt the cooking process for about 6 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients: mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, champagne vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
- Place a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the sunflower seeds for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
- While the seeds cool, prepare the rest of your salad ingredients: tear the lettuce, slice the onion, chop dill, and gather peas and microgreens.
- On a large serving platter, arrange the torn lettuce and drizzle a bit of dressing over it.
- Layer the asparagus, sweet peas, microgreens, sliced red onion, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted sunflower seeds on top.
- Sprinkle the fresh dill over the salad and drizzle additional dressing to taste. Serve immediately.
