BALSAMIC ASPARAGUS AND CHERRY TOMATO SALAD
Raw garlic gives an assertive, sharp flavor to this fantastic asparagus salad recipe. It requires just eight ingredients to make, two of which include salt and pepper, so it'll soon become a go-to. Plus you need 10 minutes to throw it together, thanks to a quick blanching of the asparagus, which is the only cooking that's required. Mix the garlic with a little bit of balsamic vinegar and unsweetened orange juice for the easiest dressing ever. You can also incorporate red onions into the salad if you have any on hand. Chop up any of the salad leftovers and toss with whole wheat pasta for an easy main dish.

I can't remember where I found this recipe, but even my husband will eat it. That says a lot since he's not a fan of anything green except lettuce.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan bring the vinegar to a simmer over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat until just a few bubbles break through the surface.
- Add the smashed garlic.
- Cook at a slow simmer until about 1/4 cup of vinegar remains (about 20 minutes).
- If you cook too quickly or it reduces too much, it will turn bitter rather than sweet.
- Remove the sauce pan from the heat and let cool to room temperature (The syrup will continue to thicken as it cools).
- Heat grill to medium heat.
- Remove and discard all tough, woody ends from the asparagus spears.
- Wash and pat dry.
- Lightly coat the asparagus with the Hot Pepper Oil.
- Season evenly with the salt and pepper.
- Brush the cooking grate clean.
- Lay the asparagus perpendicular to the bars on the grate.
- Grill over direct medium heat with the lid closed as much as possible, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, 4-6 minutes, rolling the spears a couple of times and swapping their positions as needed for even cooking.
- Arrange the asparagus on a platter or individual plates.
- Remove the garlic from the syrup.
- If the syrup is stiff, warm it briefly over medium heat.
- Drizzle some of the syrup over the spears (you may not need all of it.).
- Season with more salt, if desired.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.

ASPARAGUS WITH BALSAMIC BUTTER (WEIGHT WATCHERS 0 POINTS)
From Weight Watchers' Five Ingredient Fifteen Minute cookbook (Spring 2008). The recipe calls for boiling the asparagus but really you should cook the asparagus by your preferred method. I prefer to saute my asparagus in a little olive oil and sea salt. Enjoy :)
