[recipe*] Asparagus Salad Supreme

[Guest guest]

This is one of my favorite ways to serve asparagus

in the springtime.

 

Asparagus Salad Supreme

 

2 lbs fresh asparagus, trimmed

1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced

4 green onions, thinly sliced

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1/2 cup mayonnaise (can use low or nonfat mayo)

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Additional walnuts, optional

 

In a skillet, cook asparagus in a small amount of water

until crisp-tender, about 6 to 8 minutes; drain.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

 

In the same skillet, saute mushrooms, onions and

walnuts in the butter until the mushrooms are tender.

 

In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, salt and

nutmeg. Stir in mushroom mixture. Cover and refrigerate

for at least 1 hour.

 

Just before serving, place asparagus on a serving platter;

top with dressing and additional walnuts if desired.

Yield: 6 servings
