How to Make Asparagus Salad With Roasted Bell Peppers

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly brush 2 large bell peppers (any color) with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place them cut-side down on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until skins are blistered and charred.
  4. Remove from oven. Once cool enough to handle, peel and remove seeds. Cut peppers into long, thin strips.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the roasted peppers with 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound asparagus and cook until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes.
  7. Immediately transfer asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  8. Remove asparagus from ice water and pat completely dry with paper towels.
  9. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  10. Spread half of the roasted pepper mixture in a baking dish.
  11. Arrange the asparagus over the peppers. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Top with the remaining roasted peppers and drizzle with 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar.
  13. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and slightly bubbly.
  14. Drizzle with an additional 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar before serving warm.
