Asparagus 'n' Vinaigrette

By: Mickey Kelly

"'Living in the Midwest, we anticipate spring treats like fresh asparagus all winter long,' affirms Mickey Kelly, Burnsville, Minnesota. 'Our three small children can't help but snitch a taste when this dish is chilling in the fridge. I use the vinaigrette dressing on salads, sliced tomatoes and other steamed vegetables as well.'"
