Ingredients:
20 asparagus spears (about 1 1/4 pounds) |
4 cups gourmet salad greens |
3 tablespoons tarragon vinegar |
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 teaspoon water |
1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/4 cup garlic-flavored croutons |
chopped fresh parsley (optional) |
Directions:
1. Snap off tough ends of asparagus; remove scales with a knife or vegetable peeler, if desired. Steam asparagus, covered, 4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Rinse under cold water; drain well.
2. Arrange 1 cup greens on 4 plates; top each serving with 5 asparagus spears. Combine vinegar and next 5 ingredients (vinegar through garlic) in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk. Drizzle 1 tablespoon vinaigrette over each serving; top each with 1 tablespoon croutons. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.
