This simple yet elegant dish makes a great addition to any menu. After a long winter, asparagus is one of the first vegetables to make a spring appearance!
Serves 4
Place asparagus in a large skillet; add 1/2 inch of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat; cover and simmer for 3-5 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain asparagus and arrange in a shallow dish. Combine water, vinegar, walnuts, raisins, mustard and garlic in a food processor or high-powered blender and process until smooth. Stir in red onion and pour over asparagus. Let stand at room temperature for 1-2 hours before serving. Sprinkle with pine nuts before serving. Note: For your convenience, Dr. Fuhrman makes a line of healthful salad dressings. Dr. Fuhrman's Almond Balsamic Dressing or Dr. Fuhrman's Walnut Vinaigrette Dressing (about 3/4 cup) can be substituted in this recipe.

I enjoyed this recipe; my husband did not. I didn't let the recipe sit as suggested which I will do next time. I think I will blend everything then add just enough balsamic to get the dressing smooth. I will definitely make this again.
