Roasted Asparagus Salad With Citrus Dressing image

This recipe was featured in an email from the www.lifescript.com website. "Rest roasted asparagus and tomatoes on a bed of watercress for a special touch. The fat-free dressing is a sweet-sour combination of fresh citrus juices, honey and Dijon mustard. Just as tasty warm or at room temperature, this salad works well when served as part of an easy buffet-style brunch."

Time 35m

Yield 6 dishes of salad, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs asparagus, trimmed (about 2 bunches)
1 pint cherry tomatoes (red or mixed colors)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 bunches watercress, tough stems removed (about 4 cups lightly packed)
2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F
  • Place asparagus in a large bowl. Add tomatoes and oil and toss to coat. Spread in a heavy roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet, spooning the tomatoes between and on top of the asparagus. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and add a generous grinding of pepper. Roast until the asparagus is crisp-tender and the tomatoes are warmed and slightly crinkled, about 15 minutes. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • Whisk lemon juice, orange juice, honey, mustard and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until blended. Reserve half of the dressing in a small bowl.
  • Add watercress to the medium bowl; toss to coat. Spread the watercress on a platter. Arrange the roasted asparagus on the watercress and top with tomatoes. Drizzle the reserved dressing over the asparagus and tomatoes; sprinkle with dill. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I'm allergic to citrus, so I'll have to find a substitute for the dressing.

The citrus dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I'm sure it would be perfect for those who enjoy a bolder flavor.

The asparagus was perfectly roasted, with a slightly charred exterior and tender-crisp interior.
