Are you ready for sour? The kind of sour that makes your saliva glands ache a little and actually squirt just thinking about biting into something? Well that’s the kind of sour I have for you today. I am mostly teasing here. Because these little sour jewels won't hurt you. They are just one ingredient in a luscious salad full of opposing flavors and textures. Which is just the sort of salad I love. Sure there are plenty of sour little flavor bombs sprinkled about this salad. But there is also tender, crisp, rich and nutty white asparagus, the fat kind that is around all too briefly each spring. And as if that were not enough to hold your interest... there is soft, green bibb lettuce and creamy bits of goat cheese. I am dressing this salad with just the barest hint of walnut oil. There is no vinaigrette I can think of that could ever hold its head up around these flavors. No, this salad needs the full fat flavor of the nutty walnut oil all by itself. Black pepper brings the final zing that makes this asparagus salad sing! - SippitySup
