Raspberry Asparagus Medley

Raspberry Asparagus Medley

I would have never thought to bring these together but yum!

Serve this unusual side dish on a bed of greens or with pork tenderloin flavored with balsamic vinegar, rosemary, and garlic. 

  • 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp raspberry preserves
  • 1 ½ tsp dijon mustard
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
  • 2 ½ c sliced asparagus (sliced 1 inch pieces (about 1 pound))
  • 1 ½ c fresh raspberries
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped pecans (toasted)
  1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in rind.

  2. Cook asparagus in boiling water 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and plunge into ice water; drain. Combine preserves mixture, asparagus, and raspberries in a bowl; toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with pecans.
