Raw garlic gives an assertive, sharp flavor to this fantastic recipe. Chop up leftovers and toss with whole wheat pasta for an easy main dish.

Ingredients

  1 1/2 pound(s) uncooked asparagus   
  1 cup(s) fresh cherry tomato(es), cut in half   
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar   
2 tsp unsweetened orange juice   
1 tsp minced garlic   
2 Tbsp shredded parmesan cheese, fresh, such as Parmigiano-Reggiano   
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste   
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste   

Instructions

  • Chop tough ends off asparagus. Boil asparagus just until tender, about 4 to 6 minutes. (Or microwave asparagus about 2 to 3 minutes.)

  • Plunge asparagus into a large bowl of ice water to stop them from cooking; drain and place on a serving platter. Sprinkle tomatoes over top.

  • In a cup, stir together vinegar, orange juice and garlic; season to taste. Spoon dressing over asparagus and tomatoes; sprinkle with cheese and serve. Yields 1/4 of asparagus per serving.

This was a great light meal. I paired it with a Weight Watchers Chicken burger and Apple slices for a great meal.
