"Go-to" veggies that pack a nutritional punch, are ready in a few minutes, and customizable for everyone's taste preferences are key to getting out of the kitchen quickly and keeping us healthy. Asparagus just happen to fit the bill perfectly and are now in season.

You might also pop a few asparagus spears along with a few pieces of carrot or sweet pepper in a small aritight container as a healthy raw snack for you or the kids for lunch. I love this, no cooking at all. You'll find other ideas at www.asparagus-lover.com
