Pea, Asparagus, and Fava Bean Salad

We love fresh asparagus in the spring time.  When we were growing up in Yakima we used to pick wild asparagus in the pear orchards next door.  They were very flavorful thin stalks.  When it is fresh we like to eat it as often as we can.  This new Bon Appétit recipe is a great one to do for multiple meals.  It is a cold salad that can last for several days.  I keep the fried shallots and bacon in a separate container to heat them and top the salad just before serving.
