ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND YELLOW PEPPER SALAD



Roasted Asparagus and Yellow Pepper Salad image

This delicious cold roasted asparagus recipe is great if you love asparagus, and even if you don't. The tangy dressing and the roasted taste of the asparagus and peppers brings it all together. You can make this a day ahead of serving. You may not need to use all of the dressing. Also, you can make the vegetables the night before and add the dressing a few hours before serving.
