From A Slice of Paradise. This has been a regular at our house for years. It can be made well in advance. It's quick and easy to assemble for an everyday dinner and pretty enough for a dinner party. I often substitute verjuice for the vinegar. Serve cold.

CHILLED MARINATED ASPARAGUS



Chilled Marinated Asparagus image

"My mother had surgery a few years back in spring, so my two sisters and I were challenged to prepare dishes like this that would keep well and still taste great as leftovers," recalls Nicole LeCroy of Nashville, Tennessee. "Mom got her appetite back when she tried this cool and crunch asparagus that gets a flavor boost from soy sauce. It's a nice accompaniment to chicken, roast beef or ham."

BLUE CHEESE ASPARAGUS ROLLUPS



Blue Cheese Asparagus Rollups image

These are lovely appetizers to serve and so easy to make and not too expensive ingredients. You may freeze them before baking just allow a little longer in the oven when baking from the frozen state. I have just made these again using square white sandwich bread. I needed 25 slices of bread, put a generous tbsp of the filling on each, cut them in two and ended up with 50 appies. If using the sandwich bread you will need few extra asparagus but most aaparagus are longer than the slice of bread so you get 1 1/2 from most spears
