Asparagus Salad With Roasted Red Peppers

This asparagus recipe gets loads of flavor and color from the roasted red peppers in the dressing and on the salad. It's a wonderful salad to serve with any spring or summer meal.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 jar (12 to 16 ounces) roasted red peppers, drained and cut in strips, divided
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Creole mustard or Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf tarragon
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound asparagus, stems trimmed and peeled, as needed*

    Instructions:

    In a blender or food processor, combine 1/2 cup of the roasted red pepper strips with the vinegar, mustard, and tarragon; process or blend until smooth. Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed.

    Put asparagus in a deep skillet or asparagus cooker. Cover with water and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until just tender.

    Drain, let cool, and pat with paper towels to dry as much as possible.

    Arrange asparagus on a serving platter, top with the remaining roasted red pepper strips, and spoon dressing over tall.

    *To trim asparagus, snap off the tough bottoms. For larger spears, peeling might be necessary. Using a vegetable peeler, starting about halfway down the trimmed spear, peel tough outer skin.

    Serves 4.
