I've been on an "asparagus kick" this week. I pan-roasted these and used a homemade balsamic dressing (honey, mustard) and it went great with the asparagus! Thanks so much Paula. Roxygirl

I grill peppers and onions as well as asparagus separately on my GF but never thought to combine them. My vinagrette was homemade, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasonings blend and a smidge of Dijon to bind it. The results were delicious hot and as a room temperature salad for lunch. Thanks Paula!
