  1. An effortless, delicious side dish. What a great way to dress up a vegetable. I did roast my asparagus, as that was more convenient for me today, but that was the only change. And, best, it uses ingredients I always have on hand - just need the fresh asparagus.
     
  2. This was a great side dish for our dinner. Loved the combination of flavors.

  3. I loved the asparagus prepared this way. It was amazing that three items could taste so excellent. I used a good quality olive oil and white balsamic vinegar. (it was what I had on hand). It worked perfectly in this recipe, absorbing the flavors from the vinagrette. Thanks so much for sharing a recipe that we will enjoy again.
     
  4. Yummy!!!! I love asaragus, and prepared this way was just delicious! I steamed in my vegetable steamer, and they cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the balsamic vinegar is delightful. Thank you for posting NELady. Made for 1.2.3 Hits
     
  5. So simple and yummy. I cooked the asparagus in my steamer machine. I used 1 1/2 tsp of balsamic vinegar (my mistake). But it was great. Not too vinegry (is that a word). Thanks NELady. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
