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.

- Roast the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes are done roasting when they are easily pierced with a fork.
- Blanch the asparagus: Blanching the asparagus helps to preserve its bright green color and crisp-tender texture.
- Cook the peas: Peas can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as boiling, steaming, or sautéing.
- Make the vinaigrette: The vinaigrette is a simple dressing made with olive oil, vinegar, and seasonings.
- Assemble the dish: To assemble the dish, simply combine the roasted potatoes, asparagus, peas, and vinaigrette in a bowl and toss to coat.
