ASPARAGUS WITH BACON, RED ONION, AND BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
From America's Test Kitchen. This looks just wonderful. "To prepare the asparagus for this salad, we found that broiling concentrates the flavor of the asparagus and lightly caramelizes the peel. We prefer to use thin (under 5/8-inch) asparagus under the broiler-this lets us skip the peeling step and allows the spears to cook more evenly."

Tips:
- Choose thick asparagus stalks: Thicker asparagus stalks are easier to handle and less likely to break during cooking.
- Trim the asparagus properly: Use a sharp knife to trim the tough ends of the asparagus stalks. Aim to remove about 1 inch from the bottom of each stalk.
- Cook the asparagus in a single layer: This will ensure that the asparagus cooks evenly. If you crowd the asparagus in the pan, it will steam instead of roasting and won't get as crispy.
- Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and flavorless.
- Use good quality bacon: The bacon is one of the key ingredients in this recipe, so it's important to use good quality bacon that you enjoy the taste of.
- Don't skip the balsamic glaze: The balsamic glaze adds a delicious sweet and tangy flavor to the asparagus. If you don't have any balsamic glaze on hand, you can make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar and honey in a saucepan until it thickens.
Conclusion:
Balsamic asparagus with bacon is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's healthy, delicious, and sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a simple but flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
