| 1 | pound | asparagus | thin, end trimmed, stalks peeled if thick |
| 1/2 | hea | lettuce | red-leaf |
| 1/4 | cup | rice wine vinegar | |
| 2 | tablespoons | soy sauce | |
| 1/2 | teaspoon | sugar | |
| 1/4 | teaspoon | red pepper flakes | |
| 3 | tablespoons | corn oil | |
| 4 | teaspoons | sesame oil | |
| 1 | x | salt | coarse |
| 1 | teaspoon | butter, unsalted | |
| 1/4 | cup | sunflower seeds | raw |
| 1 | tablespoon | scallions, spring or green onions | diagonally sliced, green part only |
Slice the asparagus in a long diagonal at 2" intervals. Blanch in a large pot of boiling water for about 4 minutes, until just tender-crunchy. Drain, refresh under cold running water, then dry carefully with paper towels.
Whisk together the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, red pepper, corn oil, sesame seed oil and salt, to taste. Toss with the asparagus.
Cool, cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight, if desired.
Melt the butter in a small sauté pan and stir-fry the sunflower seeds until golden brown. Remove and reserve.
When ready to serve, toss the asparagus and vinaigrette again, arrange on red lettuce leaves on individual salad plates and top with toasted sunflower seeds and sliced green onions.

Unfortunately the answers to these questions return us to the subjectivity and capriciousness of the individual person's character. When the situation is not a no-brainer because it doesn't lie at one extreme or the other, we must then decide what we are...
This turned out great. Much lighter tasting than a traditional heavy lasagna but very much like a lasagna without the fat and carbs from the pasta. I found a single serving more than filled me up. Like a no-guilt lasagna.
Quick, easy and tasty. Why order out for chinese when it's so easy to make at home. Low in fat only 223 calories per serving with great flavor. If you are quick you can have it ready in only 10 minutes, 15 minutes at the most!
