We enjoyed this very much with our steamed asparagus. It gave the vegetable a light, fruity taste.

Fast, fresh and full of flavor. I popped my asparagus on my George Foreman grill for 4 minutes, tossed the dressing and served the side warm. So good we used our fingers to wipe the extra sauce from the plate.

This tasted just great with the vinaigrette. It gave a lovely, not too spicy flavor to the asparagus. Thanks, it was charming!
