From her Nepean, Ontario home, subscriber Lorrie Donald pens, Our entire family loves asparagus! This recipe is among our very favorites. The salad has such a fresh taste, while the Dijon mustard adds a bit of tartness to the dressing. Ingredients:
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup cider or white wine vinegar |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon sugar, optional |
1 cup diced fully cooked ham |
2 green onions, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. In a skillet, cook asparagus in a small amount of water until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes; drain well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. Meanwhile, in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper and sugar if desired; shake well. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Place asparagus in a serving bowl. Top with ham, onions and dressing. Serve with a slotted spoon. Yield: 6-8 servings.
