How to Make Asparagus And Goat Cheese Salad

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke.
  2. Add 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced, and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes, stirring only once after 1 minute.
  3. Add 1 pound asparagus, trimmed, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Cook until asparagus is browned and almost tender, about 2 minutes, stirring only once after 1 minute.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup thinly sliced shallot and cook until softened and asparagus is tender-crisp, about 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
  6. Transfer the asparagus mixture to a large plate and let cool for 5 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, whisk together 4 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.
  8. In a large bowl, gently toss 5 ounces baby spinach with 2 tablespoons of the dressing.
  9. Divide the spinach among individual salad plates.
  10. Toss the cooled asparagus mixture with the remaining dressing.
  11. Place a portion of the asparagus mixture over the spinach on each plate.
  12. Crumble 4 ounces of goat cheese over each salad and serve immediately.
