1 voto | 4896 views

I’ve never been so excited about a vegetable dish before but this one is worth raving about. It’s just like the classic salad but it’s made with roasted asparagus instead of lettuce. I’m keeping it skinny by making homemade multi-grain croutons and drizzling with a delicious light Caesar dressing. The skinny for each serving is 95 calories, 4 grams of fat and 3 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. I can’t express enough how fabulous this dish really is. I guess you’ll have to make and see for yourself!

  1. 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Toast bread and cut into bite size pieces. Coat a pan with cooking spray. Place asparagus on pan along with diced toasted bread. Drizzle 2 teaspoon of olive oil over the top. Using hands, toss well to coat asparagus and bread cubes. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Roast in oven for about 6-8 minutes until asparagus is tender-crisp and bright green in color. Remove from oven.
  3. Place asparagus in serving dish. Sprinkle croutons all over asparagus. Drizzle dressing over top and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cheese.
  4. Shopping Tips-You’ll find Cardini’s or Girards Light Caesar dressing at most supermarkets. I found both at Vons/Safeway and Gelsons. They are really delicious tasting.
