Asparagus, pine nut and tomato salad

Here is the salad of the week! Like I said before, I am trying out new salads! This one was a good side dish.
Here's what you need:

• a big bowl full of mixed salad greens, enough to serve 4
• 2 tomatoes, cut into nice slices
• 2 tbsps of roasted pine nuts
• a package of asparagus
• salt and pepper

Step one:
Fill up your serving bowl with your lettuce.

Step two:
Cut your asparagus into bite size pieces. Put them into a frying pan and cover with water. Boil them. Once they are done, remove the water and spray the pan with oil. Add a little bit of salt and pepper and fry them up nicely.

Step three:

Place your pine nuts in a small frying pan and toast them a little bit. You can the pine nuts in the picture above. Pine nuts are expensive...so enjoy them. haha

Step four: Dressing

Mix together 1 tsp on lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp of whole grain mustard, 2 tbsps balsamic vinegar with some salt and pepper. Voila.

Step five:

Add the pine nuts, asparagus and tomatoes to your mixed greens. Pour your dressing over top and you have yourself a salad!
