Ham-Asparagus Roll Ups
This is super easy, and a healthy filling snack!
1 Package Super Lean sliced Ham
1 Package FF Cream Cheese
1/2 lb FRESH asparagus
1/2 hour before you plan to make these, take the cream cheese out and let it "soften"
DIRECTIONS:
Prepare a pan of boiling water on the stove, and a bowl of ice water on the counter.
Cut woody ends off asparagus, and trim down to the size of the "Long End" of the ham slice.
When water is boiling, blanch asparagus for 3-4 minutes...just until it turns BRIGHT green, and is
a little tender. IMMEDIATELY dip asparagus into the ice water. (Let sit in ice water for about
3-4 minutes.)
Take out of Ice Water, and drain. Put asparagus spears on paper towels, to dry out a bit.
Take a slice of the LEAN ham, and spread 1 T FF cream cheese over the entire piece.
Put the asparagus spear on the edge, and ROLL UP, long ways.
Continue to do this until you run out of ingredients.
If you can avoid the temptation of eating right away, let these sit in the refrigerator for a few
hours. The asparagus gets crisp, and all of the flavors mingle!
2 roll-ups equal about 1 point.
Note: I usually do this with a Pound of asparagus, and put a couple of spears
in before I roll it up....more filling and the same points!!
