Ingredients

2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed
1 bottle raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing (or balsamic vinaigrette)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup slivered almonds (or walnuts)


Directions

Cut off the tough ends of asparagus (about halfway down the stem). The ends may be discarded or saved for future soup-making. Place asparagus tips in microwave-safe casserole dish with 1/2 cup water. Cover partially and microwave on high 5 minutes or until tender. Quickly rinse in ice water to set color. Add salad dressing and chill until serving. Sprinkle on nuts just before serving.
