Instructions
- This recipe originated on Giada Entertains. Episode: Spring Supper.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the mustard, vinegar, olive oil and salt until smooth and emulsified.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Season generously with salt. Add the asparagus to the water and blanch for 3 to 5 minutes depending on the size of the asparagus. It should still have some bite left to it. Add the warm asparagus to the dressing and toss well to coat.
- Fan the asparagus out on a platter and sprinkle with the mizuna. Scatter the hazelnuts and goat cheese and drizzle with any dressing that may remain in the bowl.

Fantastic! I loved the tanginess of the dressing and the goat cheese and nuts were perfect with this. The leftovers served cold the next day, tasted even better!!
