Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb thin asparagus, tough ends trimmed
2 thin slices prosciutto (1 oz total), halved crosswise
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
1 garlic clove, smashed and peeled
2 tablespoons fat-free chicken broth
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel asparagus with a vegetable peeler starting 2 inches from tips, then cook in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, then transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Divide asparagus among 4 plates and wrap each pile with a slice of prosciutto to form a bundle.
  • Blend together mint, garlic, broth, oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a blender, scraping down sides frequently, until smooth. Drizzle dressing over asparagus.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I always have some leftover asparagus after making a stir-fry or roasted vegetables, and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used a sunflower seed pesto instead of the mint dressing. It was a delicious and healthy alternative.

I'm not a fan of mint, so I omitted the mint dressing. The asparagus was still delicious wrapped in prosciutto.

I found that the asparagus was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the prosciutto and mint dressing were delicious.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a salty prosciutto.
