Description

  1. Trim ends of asparagus and wash well. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt. Have a bowl of ice water handy to chill asparagus after cooking. Drop asparagus in and boil for 2 minutes until just tender, then drain and plunge into ice water to chill. Remove after it cools completely, drain and chill until ready to assemble salad.
  2. Arrange asparagus on a platter and top with sliced strawberries, radishes and chives. Season with sea salt and fresh ground black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, if desired. Sprinkle with goat cheese.
