Asparagus Salad With Honey Poppy Seed Vinaigrette image

Nice, light asparagus salad that's easy and quick to throw together. Goes great with seafood, or other rich foods. Note that the dressing probably makes more than you'll need for the salad, so you'll have some left over for other salads.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb asparagus, tough ends snapped off

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
