Made these as accompiment to the main dish. We have a double amount of asparagus, and let me tell you, I could use all the rest of the asparagus just on this. Happened to have "blue cheese" for the dressing instead of Roquefort, but I am not sure it made a big difference. I added fresh garlic, and a bit of Tabasco sauce to dressing, just for a little kick. Terrific, English Rose! Thanks! ZWT3 07'.
