LITTLE GEMS, ASPARAGUS, AND PEAS WITH CREAMY MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE
This pretty composed salad is oh so very spring. It's a tumble of asparagus, peas, and Little Gem lettuces, which have the crunch of romaine but small enough leaves that you can serve them whole. The make-ahead tangy mustard vinaigrette has a surprise ingredient: nigella seeds. They provide a delicate allium note-like scallions, only subtler.

Steps:
- Prepare an ice bath. Cook asparagus in a small pot of generously salted boiling water 1 minute. Add peas; cook 15 seconds more. Drain vegetables and transfer to ice bath until cold. Drain and pat dry.
- In a jar with a resealable lid, combine cream, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, nigella seeds, and oil; generously season with salt and pepper. Seal lid and shake vigorously until thick and creamy. Toss asparagus and peas with enough dressing to lightly coat.
- Toss lettuce leaves with more dressing to lightly coat and arrange on a platter in a single layer. Top leaves evenly with asparagus mixture, and serve with remaining dressing alongside.
