How to Make Asparagus Strawberry Salad

1. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons poppy seeds, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup white wine vinegar. Shake well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
2. Add 1/2 cup olive oil to the jar.
3. Secure the lid and shake vigorously to emulsify the dressing.
4. Cover and refrigerate the dressing for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus. Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
6. Just before serving, gently toss 1 pint strawberries (hulled and sliced), the chilled asparagus, and the poppy seed dressing together in a large bowl.
7. Sprinkle with 2 ounces crumbled blue cheese and serve immediately.
