ASPARAGUS WITH BACON, RED ONION, AND BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE



Asparagus With Bacon, Red Onion, and Balsamic Vinaigrette image

From America's Test Kitchen. This looks just wonderful. "To prepare the asparagus for this salad, we found that broiling concentrates the flavor of the asparagus and lightly caramelizes the peel. We prefer to use thin (under 5/8-inch) asparagus under the broiler-this lets us skip the peeling step and allows the spears to cook more evenly."
