Ingredients:

Serving

2 lbs asparagus , tough ends trimmed,cut into 2-inch pieces
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp dijon-style mustard
1 tbsp chopped fresh marjoram
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 small red bell pepper , cut julienne
1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Directions:

Cook asparagus in large pot of boiling, salted water until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Drain and rinse with cold water.
Place in a decorative bowl and put in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled.
Boil vinegar in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
This will sweeten and concentrate the vinegar; pour into a large bowl.
Whisk in oil, mustard, marjoram and garlic.
Season dressing to taste with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.
When ready to serve, add the red peppers and toss with dressing.
Sprinkle with nuts and serve.
