Ingredients

1 Pound fresh asparagus, ends trimmed
1/4 small onion, finely chopped
2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 Teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 packet granular sugar substitute (sucralose)
1/2 Teaspoon salt
1/4 Teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 Cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 Cups spring salad mix
1/4 Cup chopped walnut halves

Directions

To toast nuts, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated 325°F oven, turning them after 3 minutes. Bake for another 3 to 6 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning. You can substitute almonds for walnuts, if you prefer. To make this dish suitable for Induction, simply eliminate the walnuts.

Steam asparagus until crisp-tender, about 4–7 minutes, depending upon size. Drain, and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Combine onion, vinegar, mustard, sugar substitute, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Gradually whisk in oil.
Divide lettuce on 4 plates; arrange asparagus on top and drizzle with vinaigrette. Sprinkle with walnuts and additional salt and pepper, if desired.
