Crab with Asparagus and Heirloom Tomatoes

  This layered salad is definitely stacked: Michael Taus, executive chef and owner of Zealous restaurant in Chicago, has piled in all the vitamins C and B12 you need for the day, as well as 50 percent of your daily requirement for vitamin A.

  

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

  3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  2 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar

  Sea salt

  Coarsely ground black pepper

  12 spears asparagus, ends trimmed 2 inches

  Vegetable oil cooking spray

  2 shallots, minced

  8 heirloom tomatoes, seeded and diced

  2 cups crabmeat, chopped

  2 cucumbers, seeded and diced

  2 tablespoon finely chopped chives

  2 cups diced red, yellow or purple bell peppers

  2 tablespoon nonfat plain yogurt

  Juice of half a lime

  2 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro

  Turn on broiler. Whisk together oil and vinegar in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper; set aside. Place asparagus on a baking sheet with sides and spray with cooking spray; roll each spear until fully coated in oil. Broil asparagus 8 to 10 minutes or until spears begin to brown. Remove from baking sheet and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, combine shallots and tomatoes in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper; set aside. In a separate bowl, combine crabmeat, cucumbers and chives. Season with salt and pepper; set aside. Place bell peppers in a separate bowl; drizzle with 2 teaspoons reserved vinaigrette; set aside. In a separate bowl, combine yogurt, lime juice and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper; set aside. Chop asparagus into 1-inch pieces. Place tomato mixture on the bottom of each of 4 plates. Top with a layer of the crab; add a layer of peppers (save some for garnish), then asparagus. Top each with 1 1/2 teaspoons yogurt dressing. Sprinkle with peppers. Spoon remaining vinaigrette over salad.
