Ingredients for Asparagus Recipe Quick

Directions to prepare Asparagus Recipe Quick

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly spray a 9×13 pan with cooking oil and set aside.
2. Steam the asparagus for 5 minutes until just tender, but not waterlogged, and still bright green in color. Set aside and leave the asparagus steaming in the strainer for about five minutes so that it’s easier to chop into bite size pieces after you are done steaming them.
3. Place the asparagus and cheese in a large bowl. When the cheese is soft and melted, add the ham and tomatoes.
4. Pour dressing over salad until it’s evenly mixed into the asparagus mixture. Toss to coat well.
5. Arrange salad portions evenly on pan, gently pressing them down into an even layer so that there are no crevices for steam to escape from the salad ingredients, covering all of the pan edges with dressing if you choose.
6. Bake in oven at 450 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, and serve with a side of drinks and chips.
