I only used a tablespoon of sugar. It really doesn't need it.

This is awesome - didn't put in the almonds though as I was running short on time to toast them etc. Also I only used about half of the dressing. SOOOOO tasty.

This is my new favorite recipe for asparagus. I have made it up to the point where you add the blue cheese and almonds, put it in a casserole dish in the fridge, and then heated it with the final ingredients just before serving. This makes it easy to do ahead.

This is awesome. I made it after finding asparagus on sale at the grocers. What a treat! I will make it over and over, and have already passed it on to others!

This simple recipe is fresh with a complex flavor. My brother-in-law who doesn't like asparagus raved about this dish!
