Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar
Sea salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
12 spears asparagus, ends trimmed 2 inches
Vegetable oil cooking spray
2 shallots, minced
8 heirloom tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 cups crabmeat, chopped
2 cucumbers, seeded and diced
2 tablespoon finely chopped chives
2 cups diced red, yellow or purple bell peppers
2 tablespoon nonfat plain yogurt
Juice of half a lime

Steps:

  • Turn on broiler. Whisk together oil and vinegar in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper; set aside. Place asparagus on a baking sheet with sides and spray with cooking spray; roll each spear until fully coated in oil. Broil asparagus 8 to 10 minutes or until spears begin to brown. Remove from baking sheet and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, combine shallots and tomatoes in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper; set aside. In a separate bowl, combine crabmeat, cucumbers and chives. Season with salt and pepper; set aside. Place bell peppers in a separate bowl; drizzle with 2 teaspoons reserved vinaigrette; set aside. In a separate bowl, combine yogurt, lime juice and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper; set aside. Chop asparagus into 1-inch pieces. Place tomato mixture on the bottom of each of 4 plates. Top with a layer of the crab; add a layer of peppers (save some for garnish), then asparagus. Top each with 1 1/2 teaspoons yogurt dressing. Sprinkle with peppers. Spoon remaining vinaigrette over salad.
