Cold Asparagus with Prosciutto and Lemon

SUBMITTED BY: Lisa K

"This cold asparagus dish is tender, tasty and easy to create. The zesty lemon and the salty prosciutto work perfectly together to add wonderful flavor and great presentation to a vegetable that many are cautious to try. I have had people who normally turn their noses up at asparagus thoroughly enjoy this side dish."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 (3 ounce) package prosciutto
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. When the water is boiling hard, add the asparagus and cook until tender but still crisp, about 4 minutes. Quickly drain the asparagus and plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and maintain the bright green color. Drain again and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Separate the asparagus into 5 small bundles and wrap each one with a slice of prosciutto. Sprinkle each bundle with lemon zest and lemon juice.
