Instructions

• Wipe the mushrooms clean and trim the stem bottoms if they look dark or fibrous. If the mushrooms are larger than button size, cut them in half.
• Place the mushrooms in a skillet with just enough water to keep moist; cover and steam over medium heat for two minutes, then drain and let cool.
• Trim the bottoms of the asparagus, then cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces. Using the same skillet, add just enough water to keep the bottom moist, cover, and steam until the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and rinse with cool water.
• Combine the mushrooms and asparagus in a serving container. Add the remaining ingredients and mix gently. Serve at once or refrigerate until needed.
