Steps:
- To make the dressing: In the bowl of a food processor or mini chopper, add the walnuts, shallots and garlic. Pulse until the walnuts are crumbly but the mixture is starting to get a little pasty. Add the oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- For the salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with cold water and ice and set aside. Cook the asparagus until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer immediately to the ice bath to chill for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Cut diagonally on a long, sharp bias into 2-inch pieces. Add to a serving bowl.
- Add the radishes to the asparagus. Squeeze the lemon juice over the vegetables and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Gently toss. Spoon the dressing over the salad and toss again. Arrange the avocado over the salad, then garnish with the tarragon and serve immediately.
PEELED ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH RADISH AND TOASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS
With farm-fresh asparagus, no cooking is needed. If the stalks are fat, slice them lengthwise with a simple kitchen peeler; if they're skinny, just chop everything up fine. Add radishes, fresh herbs, pea tendrils (if available), toasted pumpkin seeds, and you have an easy, incredibly vibrant salad. Add Parmesan or cut-up hard-boiled eggs if you like. Finish with olive oil and lemon juice.

- In a medium bowl, toss pumpkin seeds with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Scatter seeds on a sheet pan and place in oven for 6 to 7 minutes or until light brown. Set aside to cool.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp radishes and asparagus. Look for radishes that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes. Asparagus should be bright green and have tight, closed tips.
- Trim the radishes and asparagus. Cut off the tops of the radishes and the tough ends of the asparagus.
- Slice the radishes and asparagus thinly. This will help them to cook evenly in the salad.
- Use a light dressing. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing is a good choice. Avoid using heavy dressings, as they will overpower the delicate flavors of the radishes and asparagus.
- Serve the salad immediately. Radishes and asparagus are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make the salad ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
Conclusion:
Radish and asparagus salad is a refreshing and healthy side dish that is perfect for spring and summer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Try experimenting with different dressings and toppings to find your favorite combination.
