ingredients

1 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-in . pieces
1 carrot, large, peeled and sliced into ribbons
5 ounces bibb lettuce, about one large head
¹⁄₂ cup frisee
2 cups romaine lettuce, torn
4 ounces mushrooms, your choice
6 radishes, thinly sliced
¹⁄₂ cup blue cheese dressing, good quality
¹⁄₄ cup blue cheese, crumbled (optional)
2 tablespoons almonds, sliced, toasted (optional)

directions

Bring a pot of water to a boil, add asparagus and cook 1 minute, drain and cool.
For carrot curls, roll carrot strips into coils and soak in ice water for 10 minutes, drain. (Completely optional. Since I rarely dine with the queen, I generally can't be bothered).
Arrange salad greens on plates. Top with asparagus, carrots, mushrooms, and radishes. Spoon dressing over salad. Add crumbled blue cheese and toasted almonds of desired.
