Directions
Add 1½ tablespoons of oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until hot.
Stir in the aspragus, salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Cook until the aspragus is browned and almost tender, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once.
Add the sliced shallots and cook until softened and asparagus is tender-crisp, about 1 minute, stirring often.
Transfer to a large plate and let cool for 4 to 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the remaining 4 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and black pepper to taste in a medium bowl, whisk until well blended.
In a large bowl, add spinach and 2 tablespoons of vinaigrette, toss until evenly coated.
Divide among the salad plates or a large salad serving bowl.
Toss the asparagus, sliced roasted pepper with remaining vinaigrette and place over the spinach.
Top with the crumbled goat cheese and serve.
