A friend gave me a bottle of white asparagus, I didn't want to cook it so was looking for a dressing. Dancer this was the perfect dressing! I didn't have any cherry tomatoes so I used large diced regular tomato, it worked just fine. We loved the flavours with the asparagus and tomato and the buttered breadcrumbs made a wonderful crunch, a great finish to the recipe. Thanks for sharing I will be making this again!

Followed your recipe to the letter and served over warm asparagus. Allan and I liked it but we ended up adding some fresh grated parm ontop and liked it even better.
