  1. This was excellent. A new summertime favorite for use. Loved the dressing. I did leave the almonds off to cut some of the calories, but did add the blue cheese. Thanks so much. Made for SSC Pet Parade
     
  2. I scaled this down to a lunch sized portion for just me and added chicken for a wonderful room temperature dish. I did cut down on the amount of sugar I used and will probably cut down or elminate the next time. Thanks for posting!
     
  3. I keep picking winners in the Bevy Tag and this *IS* one of them. I loved the sweet dressing and all the flavors just popped with every bite. I made this and served over pasta and It was a *Wonderful* meal! Thanks for Sharing Sweets!! ~V
     
  4. Asparagus with a sweet dressing- Thank you spring & Sweetslady! I followed the directions, except I only added the tips of the asparagus to steam for the last minute. I can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
     
  5. I made this tonight for a nice side sish and scaled it down to serve about 2. I steamed the asparagus in th microwave to speed things up. I used splenda sugar and skipped the salt. The sauce is excellent and I plan on using it on all sorts of veggies in the future. I didnt really like the addition on tomatos and ended up picking them out, but thats just my palate.
