Juice from one orange (approx 1/4 cup)

2 garlic cloves minced
1/4 cup honey
1 lb button mushrooms, sliced in half

Methods/steps

Trim the stems of the asparagus spears, and then cut in half. Place in a pot of bowling water and cook for a minute, or until just tender. Drain and rinse with cold water.

Mix the mustard, zests and juices together in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer.

Add mushrooms and toss to coat. Cook for approximately 2 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the sauce with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool.

Return the sauce to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.  Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is reduced and syrupy.

Toss the asparagus, mushrooms, lettuce mix and red pepper together.

Serve with the sauce as dressing.
