Directions: |
Directions:1. snap off woody bases of asparagus and discard; cut asparagus on the angle into 2-3 inch pieces. Steam asparagus for 2 minutes and then broil for 2-3 minutes in the bottled Italian salad dressing til slightly brown (I steam for 3 minutes and do not broil).
2. prepare dressing
3. the recipe calls for preparing separate salad plates but I put all ingredients in a large bowl, toss with dressing and serve. |

Personal
Notes: I think this salad dressing is now called Maymay's salad dressing. I typically increase the nuts. I've served this salad at holiday time often.
Editor's Note: It is in fact called MayMay's salad dressing and goes very well on Caprese salads too!
