GARLIC ASPARAGUS AND GREEN BEANS



Garlic Asparagus and Green Beans image

This recipe could not be easier. It's ready in minutes and is good hot, room temp or cold. If you like your green beans a little more tender you need to put them in the pan first to give them a little more cooking time. I make this when I have the ingredients fresh in the garden and the flavors are so bright and simple.You can add baby carrots too if you have them.

GREEN SALAD WITH ASPARAGUS AND PEAS



Green Salad With Asparagus and Peas image

A Scandinavian Vegetarian/Vegan salad from Eating Well Magazine. I have fond memories of simple salads such as these during my travels to Sweden. They recommend you use thin, tender asparagus for this recipe. NOTE: I found the raw asparagus kind of strange for me, so next time I am going to cook it slightly before putting it in the salad.

Simple and elegant French-inspired salad recipe for spring entertaining. The cheese is optional.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH BERRIES AND RASPBERRY VINAIGRETTE



Roasted Asparagus Salad With Berries and Raspberry Vinaigrette image

From the Dole Company-as found on a bunch of fresh asparagus spears. (Yep, I played around with the recipe.) The original recipe uses bottled raspberry dressing. Roasting the asparagus brings out the delicious flavor, whereas steaming seems to make it soggy, in my opinion. When shopping for asparagus look for spears with stalks that are uniform in size and leaves that are tightly close, indicating freshness.
