Great! I let the asparagus cool to room temp, then cut it in 1 1/2 inch pieces and tossed with my salad...YUMMY!

YUMMM!!! I made this last night, and I am going to make it AGAIN tonight! I let my dad try some, since he eats a ton of veggies. He's diabetic and gets bored with the same old tastes, and he LOVED this one for something different. He suggested cutting the stalks into bite sized pieces so they are easier to eat and will be easier to cook, too. THANK YOU for a wonderful idea!!

Wow! So simple and so good. I ended up eating the whole thing myself. Asparagus is a negative-calorie food, meaning your body burns more calories to digest it than you intake eating it. So if you want to make it even healthier, try using chicken broth instead of oil. Great recipe!!!!
