Since it’s asparagus season (April - early June), when it's sweetest and most tender, I made this outstanding Asparagus Hazelnut Salad. The delicate sweetness of the fresh asparagus pairs beautifully with the rich, earthy crunch of toasted hazelnuts. It's a simple yet sophisticated combination that truly lets the star ingredient shine.
