ASPARAGUS AND CHICKEN SALAD WITH GINGER DRESSING
Asparagus takes easily to many kinds of seasonings, so after you've tired of having it plain with butter or homemade mayonnaise, try this spicy dressing laced with ginger and chiles. Adding smoked chicken is a nice way to make a more substantial first course or light lunch. You can purchase smoked chicken at better butcher shops or online, but equally good is grilled chicken at room temperature, or cold poached chicken. I sometimes substitute lightly smoked ham or smoked slab bacon, simmered until tender.

Steps:
- To make the vinaigrette, put shallots in a small bowl. Add vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and cayenne and let steep for 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic, then whisk in sesame oil and vegetable oil. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Snap off the tough end of each asparagus spear, then cut each spear into 2-inch lengths. Cut thicker pieces in half lengthwise as necessary so all cut pieces are approximately the same size. Place asparagus pieces into boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Drain and cool under running water. Blot dry.
- To make the salad, put asparagus in a salad bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add chile, if using, and crushed peanuts. Dress with half the vinaigrette and toss to coat.
- Arrange dressed asparagus on a platter or on individual plates. Tear chicken slices into strips and scatter over asparagus. Drizzle a little more vinaigrette over the salad and give it a good squeeze of lime. Garnish with basil, mint and cilantro leaves and serve immediately.

ASPARAGUS AND CHICKEN SPRING-TIME SALAD
Don't know about you, but I'm SO ready for Spring! This salad is really very yummy. I actually like it best heated the second day. Serve as a salad or as an entree over rice. Wild rice would be nice added in I think. Bet it would be outstanding with rotisserie chicken meat or my recipe for Wedding Chicken. Choose long, slender spears. Unsure where I got this recipe and unsure yields. Per one email I received I need to clarify. For me, I always made the chicken broth with bouillon and just doubled the amount of bouillon to water. I assumed that was double-strength chicken broth. Also, the instructions to peel the asparagus are for if you have large woody stalks. If you are lucky enough to get thin tender stalks, don't peel.

ASPARAGUS, APPLE AND CHICKEN SALAD
This cool, colorful salad is a palate-pleaser. Apples and asparagus seem an unlikely match, but they form a terrific trio with chicken. I make this salad quite often while asparagus is in season. - Nancy Horsburgh, Everett, Ontario

- Bring a wide pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, the sugar, and the butter. Carefully place the asparagus in the water and cook for about 5-7 minutes for medium or thicker asparagus spears. If using, the shorter, thinner asparagus cook for only 2-3 minutes.

- Rub the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, some paprika, and curry powder and cook until they are tender and the juices run clear, this should take about 8 to 12 minutes, depending on their size. Turn occasionally so that they brown evenly all over. Make sure that the chicken is cooked through, it should not be pink in the middle. Cut the chicken breasts into slices.
- Clean the mache and place a handful of it on each plate. Place the asparagus and chicken breast slices on top. Slice the strawberries and arrange on the plates as well. Sprinkle the cress on top.
