Asparagus - Great with Anything!
Clean asparagus and snap off ends.
In the meantime, boil water on the stove top. Place asparagus in boiling water for FOUR MINUTES ONLY.
Drain and run cold water over top.
Place cooked asparagus in a glass dish.
Top with approximately 2 TBSP of Zesty Italian Dressing for every 16 spears.
Place in the refridgerator for at least an hour.
Serve as a side dish with anything. Or eat alone as a salad. Great to take to picnics. This tastes better cold, but room temp is okay as well.

I was never really keen on asparagus until I tried this- roasted asparagus.
Snap the stems- as usual wherever they break when you bend them.
Toss them in extra virgin olive oil and lots of fresh garlic. Place in a very hot oven 400-425 degrees F. for about 10-12 minutes. They get all crispy and tastes totally different then the steamed kind I was accustomed to. You can also do this over the BBQ.
