Directions

• Bring 4 qts water and 2 tbsp Kosher salt to a boil in a large pot. Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl halfway with ice, then adding enough water so bowl is 2/3 full. Add asparagus to boiling water and cook for 1 minute.  Using a strainer (I use this one called a spider strainer), remove asparagus from water and plunge into ice bath.  Drain asparagus, pat dry gently with a paper towel, and move to cutting board.
  
• Prepare dressing by whisking together honey, mustard, shallot, and lemon juice. Slowly drizzle in olive oil and season with Kosher salt and black pepper. 
• Place quinoa in a large bowl.  Slice asparagus into coins, then add to bowl with quinoa.  Slice endives thinly and add to bowl.  Julienne snap peas and add to bowl. Crumble goat cheese into bowl and gently toss. Add your desired amount of salad dressing and toss. Season with Kosher salt and pepper and garnish with sunflower seeds.
