Ingredients
- 2 lb Asparagus
- 1 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 x Shallots, minced
- 3 x Cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp. Mixed minced fresh herbs, (such as basil, rosemary, and thyme)
- 1/4 c. Red wine

Directions
- Prepare a large ice water bath. Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil over high heat. Add in the asparagus and blanch, about 4 min, or possibly till al dente, then transfer to an ice water bath. When cold, drain the asparagus and set aside.
- To prepare the dressing, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a saute/fry pan over high heat till very warm. Add in the shallots and garlic and lightly saute/fry, just till fragrant, about 1 minute. Add in the herbs and saute/fry till the herbs are fragrant, then add in the red wine and transfer to a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the extra virgin olive oil, till the dressing is emulsified and thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
- To prepare the salad, distribute the greens and asparagus among 6 individual plates and drizzle the hot dressing over the top.
- Sprinkle the goat cheese and bread crumbs over the top and serve.
