MARINATED ASPARAGUS SALAD
A no-fuss side dish is great when entertaining. The asparagus is cooked and chilled in advance, then stands at room temperature in the marinade while I visit and prepare the rest of the meal. -Janice Connelley, Spring Creek, Nevada

ASPARAGUS WITH TOMATOES
This is a delicious way to take advantage of early spring's flavorful asparagus. A great dish to accompany large, busy meals, as most of the work can be done ahead of time and the asparagus reheated with the tomatoes and garlic at the last minute while the roast (or whatever else) is resting. Also a delicious preparation for green beans in place of the asparagus.

CHILLED MARINATED ASPARAGUS
"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."

MARINATED HEARTS OF PALM SALAD
I found this on a Ralph's grocery store recipe card. I LOVE hearts of palm! I think mushrooms, olives and onions would be great in this also. And I'll probably try it with tuna and I bet it would be good with salami too! Oooh...and I'll be topping mine with feta. Yum!

Steps:
- Lay out asparagus tips on a baking tray, trimming bottom third off before hand if necessary. Sometimes this tough end will already have been removed by the store before being sold.
- Half all the cherry tomatoes and scatter them in the baking tray with the asparagus tips.
- Squeeze the lemon and pour the juice over the asparagus and tomatoes and set the squeezed lemon halves on the baking tray also.
- Drizzle the olive oil over everything and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place in oven at 180°C for about 20 mins until roasted. Really tasty served as side dish with fish or chicken.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and tender asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips.
- Trim the asparagus properly. Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, about 1-2 inches from the bottom.
- Marinate the asparagus for at least 30 minutes. This will help to infuse the asparagus with flavor and make it more tender.
- Use a variety of marinades. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper, or you can get creative and try different flavor combinations, such as a balsamic vinegar marinade or a honey-mustard marinade.
- Grill the asparagus until it is tender-crisp. You should see grill marks on the asparagus spears and they should be slightly charred.
- Serve the asparagus immediately. Asparagus is best enjoyed hot off the grill, but it can also be served at room temperature.
Conclusion:
Marinated asparagus is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. It is perfect for summer grilling and can be easily customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give marinated asparagus a try!
