  • 1 ½ pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into thirds
  • 2 medium yellow bell peppers, seeded and diced
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 large red onion, cut into strips
  • ¼ cup toasted almond slices
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce

Step 2
Roast 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until tender, turning occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat, and cool completely.

In a bowl, toss together the asparagus, bell peppers, onion, almond slices, and Parmesan cheese.

Step 4
In a separate bowl, mix the 1/2 cup olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, lime juice, sugar, hot sauce, and salad seasoning. Pour over the salad, and toss to coat.
