Roasted Asparagus and Yellow Pepper Salad

Description
This vegetarian salad is made with real vegetables and enriched with real cheese to white-hot perfection. This is as great a dish as it can get when it comes to vegetables.

Ingredients:

 * 1 ½ pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into third
 * 2 medium yellow bell peppers, seeded and diced
 * ¼ cup olive oil
 * 1 large red onion, minced
 * ¼ cup toasted almond slices
 * ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
 * ½ cup corn oil
 * 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
 * 3 cloves garlic, minced
 * 2 teaspoons lime juice
 * 2 teaspoons sugar, brown only
 * 1 teaspoon hot sauce
 * salad seasoning mix, to taste

Directions

 * 1) Preheat oven to 400° F. Arrange the asparagus spears and bell peppers in a single layer on the baking sheet, and drizzle or mist with ¼ cup of olive oil.
 * 2) Roast 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until tender, turning occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat, and cool completely.
 * 3) In a bowl, toss together the asparagus, bell peppers, onion, almond slices, and Parmesan cheese. In a separate bowl, mix the ½ cup corn oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, lime juice, sugar, hot sauce, and salad seasoning.
 * 4) Pour over the salad and toss to coat. Serve warm and plain or with other main dishes, side dishes, or appetizers.
