Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons water
- 8 fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 large avocado – peeled, pitted, and cubed

Directions
Step 1
Place asparagus and water into a dish, cover, and microwave on high for 3 minutes; stir. Continue microwaving until asparagus are bright green and slightly tender, 2 to 3 more minutes. Drain and cool.
