Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus with Blue Cheese

Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm - Easter feast? Pretty appetizer?
(no serving size listed)

36 medium fresh asparagus spears
36 thin* slices of prosciutto ham
4 oz. crumbled blue cheese (or goat cheese*)
1/2 cup white* balsamic vinegar (or you can use reg. balsamic)
1/2 veg. oil
1/2 cup EVOO
1/2 t. kosher* salt
1/2 t. freshly* ground pepper
1/2 t. freshly squeezed* lemon juice
1/2 t. dried basil
Lemon wedges* for garnish

Trim asparagus to 4-6" long and peel ends with a potato peeler. Place asparagus in a shallow dish with 1/2 cup water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 3 mins. (or place in boiling water for just a couple of mins. til bright green). Remove and plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and dry with paper towels. Wrap each spear with a slice of prosciutto and arrange on a platter with lip around edge. Sprinkle blue cheese over top, and when ready to serve, pour dressing over. Garnish the platter with lemon wedges.
