  1. I loved this asparagus recipe. The lemon and pinenuts make for a wonderful flavor combination. I added a bit more garlic as I absolutely love it, but am sure most will enjoy the recipe as is. Thank you -- even the three children I served this to (who all claimed to HATE asparagus) gave it a thumbs up.
     
  2. I used broccoli and asparagus, and I poured the dressing over the hot, just cooked veggies and served it as a warm salad type dish.
     
  3. My husband did not care for this, but I thought it was really delicious. I like pine nuts, but I didn't think the flavor fit here. The rest of the ingredients made a wonderful flavor that I will look forward to trying again.
