Storage: Will hold in the fridge for 4-5 days, does not hold well in the freezer.
Serving: If you added the dressing and the salad gets soggy, add it to a sandwich wrap or large tortilla. It’s a great way to salvage leftover soggy salad.

Ingredients

1 bunch of asparagus trimmed
1 lemon
2-5 cloves garlic sliced
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
Olive oil spray

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Add the asparagus to a rimmed baking sheet.
Zest the lemon over the tops of the asparagus, then slice and place over the asparagus.
Sprinkle over the garlic, salt and pepper
Lightly spray with olive oil, and bake for 12-15 minutes.

Prep Tip:

To trim the asparagus you can break off the bottoms with your hands, or cut off 1/4 of the botton of the stalk. This part is very fibrous and difficult to chew. Breaking the first one with your hands will show you how short to cut the rest.
