How To Make asparagus and roasted pepper salad
-
1Break off tough ends of asparagus. Heat 1 inch of water to boiling in a deep skillet. Add asparagus and cook two minutes to blanch.

In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and salt to blend; whisk in oil to make dressing.

Spoon pecan mixture over greens and asparagus, then drizzle dressing over all.
