This dressing can also be used over salmon or salad greens. Ingredients:
1 1/4 pounds asparagus |
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese |
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 1/2 tablespoons orange juice |
1 tablespoon water |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
2 teaspoons vegetable oil |
2 drops hot sauce |
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper |
Directions:
1. Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Remove scales with a knife or vegetable peeler, if desired. Arrange asparagus spoke-fashion on a 12-inch round glass platter with stem ends toward outside of platter. Cover with heavy-duty plastic wrap, and vent. Microwave at high 4 minutes or until crisp-tender, rotating platter a half-turn after 2 minutes. Let stand, covered, 2 minutes. Cover and chill.
2. Combine cheese and next 6 ingredients (cheese through hot sauce); stir with a wire whisk. Divide asparagus among 4 plates; top each serving with 2 tablespoons feta dressing and 2 tablespoons bell pepper.
