Asparagus with Roasted Red Pepper Salad (Vegan)

Preparation Time5 min

Cooking Time1 hr 10 min

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup asparagus (1/2 lb)
1 med red bell pepper

Instructions

Dressing:
1 tsp. minced garlic, 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.

1. Break off (do not cut) the woody portion of the stem. If you bend fresh asparagus it will automatically snap at the end of the tender portion. Snap the tender end into 1" pieces, place in a steamer for 10 minutes until tender yet slightly firm.

2. Rinse and cool with cold water. Roast red pepper in 500 degree F oven for 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally.

3. Remove from oven. Place in bowl and cover with foil for 30 minutes. Peel off skin and remove seeds.

4. Slice into julienned strips. Mix dressing ingredients and toss with asparagus and red pepper. Serve at room temperature. Keeps several days in the fridge.
