Directions

To toast sesame seeds, put them in a small skillet and heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and just golden. Watch carefully.

Break off any woody parts of the asparagus stalks.

Bring lightly salted water to boil in a medium skillet, add asparagus and cook for 5 minutes or just until tender-crisp.

Immerse asparagus in ice-water to stop the cooking action.

Pat dry and arrange on a platter.

In a blender, combine the dressing ingredients and blend until thoroughly combined.

Pour dressing evenly over asparagus and serve.

Makes ⅓ cup.
