Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into thirds

  • 2 medium yellow bell peppers, seeded and diced

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 1 large red onion, cut into strips

  • ¼ cup toasted almond slices

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 teaspoons lime juice

  • 2 teaspoons sugar

  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce

  • salad seasoning mix to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Arrange the asparagus spears and bell peppers in a single layer on the baking sheet, and drizzle or mist with 1/4 cup of olive oil.

  2. Roast 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until tender, turning occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat, and cool completely.

  3. In a bowl, toss together the asparagus, bell peppers, onion, almond slices, and Parmesan cheese.

  4. In a separate bowl, mix the 1/2 cup olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, lime juice, sugar, hot sauce, and salad seasoning. Pour over the salad, and toss to coat.
