  • Heat the grill to medium.
  • Lay the asparagus and the peppers (skin side up) on a baking sheet and sprinkle with olive oil; then lay the asparagus spears and peppers (skin side down) on the heated grill.
  • Cover and grill the asparagus until lightly browned and crisp tender. Grill the peppers until the skin is blackened all over, about 7 minutes.
  • Remove the asparagus to a cutting board and place the peppers in a paper bag. Let cool, then remove the skins.
  • Cut the asparagus and the peppers into bite-size pieces.
  • In food processor or blender, combine the olive oil, orange juice, garlic, ginger, orange zest, honey, and wasabi powder. Process until smooth. Set the dressing aside.
  • Cook the rice according to the package directions. Add the salt to the rice.
  • Transfer the cooked rice to large bowl.
  • Pour the dressing over hot rice and stir occasionally until the rice is cool.
  • Add the asparagus, pepper, and orange pieces. Stir to combine with the other ingredients.
  • Line a serving platter with red leaf lettuce.
  • Spoon the rice salad in center. Top with nuts if desired.
  • You may need to season the salad with salt. Serve the salad at room temperature.
  • If the salad is made the night before, you may need to add a one or two tablespoons of orange juice if it seems too dry.
