1 large red bell pepper -- clean and slice into long thin strips

1/2 cup any brand italian salad dressing

1 clove garlic -- crushed

1/2 teaspoon pepper -- fresh cracked is best

How to Prepare:

Mix dressing, pepper, garlic and italian seasoning well. Pour into a gallon-sized ziplock bag. Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 3 minutes or until it turns darker green. Drain well and put into the baggie of marinade along with the onions and pepper. Let marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, turning bag as needed to get an even coating. After an hour, drain the marinade off. Preheat foreman grill. Place veggies in a single layer across the grill - - fit as many as you can on in the 1st batch. Close lid and grill for 4 minutes. The onions should remain tender/crisp. If you desire them to be softer, cook another 2 minutes, but don't get them too soft. Arrange on a platter and drizzle with a little melted butter if desired.
