Avocados Again :)

I don't know how long it will take me to realize it,

but ...

you can't judge a book by its cover

and

I can't judge a recipe by its ingredients.

(OK - sometimes you can, but sometimes my judgement is not spot on)

Last week's e-meals provided a recipe for Steamed Asparagus Salad.

I loved all the ingredients in it,

I bought all of the ingredients,

and at the last minute, I waffled.

In the end, my curiosity won out and the recipe was Awesome!

Steamed Asparagus Salad

1 lb asparagus

1 c grape tomatoes, halved

1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed

1 c sliced basil leaves

1/4 c olive oil

2 tsp lemon juice

2 tsp Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Steam asparagus 5-7 minutes.

Place asparagus, tomatoes, avocado, and basil in a large bowl.

Stir in oil, lemon, and mustard.  Season with salt and pepper.
