DRESSING
*To toast sesame seeds, put them in a small skillet and heat, stirring
frequently, until fragrant and just golden. Watch carefully.
Break off any woody parts of the asparagus stalks. Bring lightly salted
water to boil in a medium skillet, add asparagus and cook for 5 minutes or
just until tender-crisp. Immerse asparagus in ice-water to stop the cooking
action.  Pat dry and arrange on a platter.
In a blender, combine the dressing ingredients and blend until thoroughly
combined.  Pour dressing evenly over asparagus and serve. Makes 1/3 cup.
