0 Make the dressing: Place all the ingredients in a jar and give it a vigorous shake. Alternatively, you can place everything in a small bowl and whisk until emulsified. 1 To Blanch asparagus: Fill a large pot with water and a tablespoon of salt and bring it to a boil. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with water and ice and set it aside. Place asparagus in the hot boiling water and let cook for 3-4 minutes. 2 While it is cooking, fill a bowl with cold water and add some ice in it. 3 Using a slotted spoon transfer the asparagus into the bowl with ice water. Do not discard the boiling water. 4 To blanch peas: Add the peas into the now empty pot with the boiling water. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the peas are softened to your liking. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in the ice water (where the cooked asparagus is) 5 Drain both vegetables and set them aside. 6 To assemble the salad: Place the butter lettuce leaves in a large salad bowl.
