  • 40 asparagus spear tips, blanched, chilled (blanching directions in recipe)
  • 2 medium roasted red peppers, peeled, each cut into 10 thin strips

***How to Blanch Asparagus
Add asparagus spears to large pot of boiling water. Cook uncovered, 2 to 3 min. or until crisp-tender. Drain, then immediately plunge asparagus into bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
