8 ounces fresh asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces (1 1/4 cups) |
1/3 cup fat-free raspberry vinaigrette dressing |
1/2 teaspoon jamaican jerk seasoning |
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan bring 6 cups water to boiling. Add snow peas, haricots verts, and asparagus. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, for 2 minutes.
