Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the woody ends off the asparagus. Slice the asparagus into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the asparagus for 2–3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and transfer immediately to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
Step 3
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into halves or quarters depending on their size.
Step 4
Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and ground black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 6
In a large salad bowl, combine the baby spinach, blanched asparagus, sliced strawberries, goat cheese (crumbled), and toasted pecans.
Step 7
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
