Asparagus with roasted red pepper (vegan)

1 1/2 c. asparagus (1/2 lb)
1 med red bell pepper

Dressing:
1 t minced garlic
1 t balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper

Break off (do not cut) the woody portion of the stem.  If you bend
fresh asparagus it will automatically snap at the end of the tender
portion.  Snap the tender end into 1" pieces, place in a steamer
for 10 minutes until tender yet slightly firm.  Rinse and cool with
cold water.

Roast red pepper in 500 degree oven for 20-30 minutes, turning
occasionally.  Remove from oven.  Place in bowl and cover with foil
for 30 minutes.  Peel off skin and remove seeds.  Slice into
julienned strips.

Mix dressing ingredients and toss with asparagus and red pepper.
Serve at room temperature.

Keeps several days in the fridge.
