DIRECTIONS
  1. Vegetables
  2. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, add green onions and boil for 1 minute. Add asparagus, snap peas and edamame. Boil for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat, rinse and drain with cold water, then rinse again and set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Dijon vinaigrette: Mix all ingredients together. Set aside until ready to use.
  4. Combine
  5. In a large bowl, combine green vegetables and Cos lettuce; drizzle with vinaigrette and toss. Preheat oven to broil.
  6. Divide cheese wedges equally among four oven-safe salad plates. Place plates onto a baking sheet and broil 1 minute or until the cheese sets and begins to caramelize. Top each plate with dressed salad. Add extra ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Tip: A kitchen torch is an alternate way to soften and caramelize the cheese in this recipe.
