Steamed Asparagus With Lemon

My favorite way to enjoy asparagus! Extremely simple to prepare, and of course, healthful.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  lb asparagus, rinsed and trimmed
• 1⁄2 lemon

Directions

1. Steam asparagus gently until tender, certainly not mushy.
2. Put asparagus in bowl, and squeeze lemon half over the asparagus until fairly well-covered.
3. Salt, pepper, and/or butter are optional, but I like the dish as is.
