I created this recipe years ago. I wanted to serve a cold dish in place of a hot vegetable at a dinner we were having. I've found most everyone likes asparagus prepared this way. Ingredients:
1/4 cup water |
1/4 teaspoon onion powder |
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed |
8 to 16 lettuce leaves |
2 to 3 large tomatoes, sliced |
1 ripe avocado, sliced |
dressing: |
1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise |
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream |
2 teaspoons prepared mustard |
1 teaspoon ketchup |
pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Combine the water and onion powder; bring to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook 3-5 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender and bright green. Drain; cool to room temperature.
2. Place 1-2 lettuce leaves per serving on a large platter or individual salad plates. Halve the tomato slices and arrange over lettuce. Top tomatoes with spears of asparagus and slices of avocado if desired. Combine dressing ingredients; top each salad serving with a generous dollop. Yield: 8 servings.
