Asparagus Tomato Salad

1 bunch asparagus
2 cloves garlic
2 tomatos
lettuce leaf
salt
black pepper
balsamic vinegar

Tear off and wash 1 large lettuce leave per serving. Place on the plate. Slice the tomato in lateral rounds, place 4-6 rounds on the lettuce covering it. Add vinegar, salt, and pepper to the tomatoes. Steam the asparagus with garlic for less than 5 minutes (remember when steaming the steamer must be steaming before you add the food) so that the asparagus is bright green and should remain slightly crunchy. Place the asparagus on the tomatoes, dash a little more salt and pepper on asparagus.
