  • 4 tablespoons butter or oil
  • ½ pound mushrooms, thickly sliced
  • ½ pound asparagus tips, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 4 medium tomatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 1 green pepper, seeded and cut into strips
  • 4 tiny sweet pickles, sliced
  • 1 head Boston lettuce, torn into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons salad oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Pepper to taste

  • How To Cook:
    1. Put the butter, mushrooms, and all but the tender tip pieces of the asparagus in a covered casserole and cook, covered, 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    2. Add the tips and cook, covered, 3 minutes more. Chill.

    3. Add all the other ingredients and toss well. Serve immediately.

    NOTE:
        If the tender asparagus tips were cooked as long as the rest of the spears, they would be mushy. Note the beautiful color contrast of the asparagus and the tomatoes.
