Put the asparagus onto a baking try and drizzle over ½ the dressing.
Bake for 10-12mins and check to see if spears are soft.
 
Put a large fry pan on the heat and add oil heat then add tomatoes, 
mushrooms and peppers. Add some of the dressing. Gently heat through.
 
Take asparagus out of the oven and divide between plates. 
Share the tomato and mushroom mixture 
and finally add the smoked tuna.
 
Serve with rest of the dressing. 

Cooks Note: Photo shows this dish without the Smoked Tuna as the 
asparagus with the vegetables was enough! 
I might add the Smoked Tuna next time I make this dish.
