| Asparagus
with Honey Mustard Dressing
Serves 4
This simple salad not only looks and tastes terrific,
it is easy to prepare.
12-16 ounces asparagus
2 tablespoons hot and sweet mustard
1 tablespoon rice wine
vinegar
2 tablespoons toasted sliced or slivered almonds
2 tablespoons
finely minced red pepper
Break tough ends off asparagus. Steam for 4 to 6 minutes,
until asparagus is still firm and bright green but no longer
hard. Remove from steamer and let cool to room temperature
or refrigerate.
Mix mustard and vinegar in a small bowl.
Serve by laying the asparagus on a plate. Pour dressing
over asparagus. Sprinkle with the almonds and red pepper.
Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Note: Alternately you can roast the asparagus by coating
them with just a touch of oil, putting them on a baking sheet
and popping them into a 400 degree F. oven for 5 to 7 minutes. © 2006 The Veggie Queen™
