Roasted Asparagus and Mushroom Salad

Serves 4 as Salad.

Try to buy smoked paprika for this dish, it really makes a difference. I use the La Chinata mild brand (hot would be good too).

• 1 lb asparagus
  
• 1 lb cremini mushrooms
  
• 5 scallions, cut in half lengthwise
  
• 1 clove garlic, minced
  
• olive oil
  
• red wine or sherry vinegar
  
• 1 tsp smoked spanish paprika
  
• 1 tsp fresh thyme
  

Preheat the oven to 425

Peel the ends of the asparagus and cut the mushrooms in half. Toss the asparagus, mushrooms, and scallions with 1 Tbs. olive oil and some salt and pepper. Roast Veggies for 10 minutes and let cool. Slice the asparagus into 1 inch pieces.

Mix the garlic, paprika, vinegar, 2 Tbs. of olive oil, and thyme. Add the vegetables and let marinate and room temperature at least an hour.
