Marinated aspargus.

May 14, 2012 Post a comment

I rarely take shortcuts but this is one I always do for a party and it is a time saver & a great appetizer.  How can you go wrong, right?

Ingredients:

1-2 lbs of fresh asparagus, washed and trimmed (bottoms)
1 container of a good quality Italian dressing

Directions:

Place the asparagus in a ziploc and pour the entire bottle of dressing over top.  Seal and refrigerate for 4-6 hours.  Remove and plate.  So good, unbelievably easy.  I always plate with other things, olives, tomatoes – I also served my marinated mozzarella skewers with this on the side.

Can you use the can asparagus instead of fresh? Just wondered if it would taste the same. Thanks

I wouldn’t Gayle because the canned version often have the consistency of being overcooked. You really need a crisp, firm spear for this appetizer. Hope this helps. Robin
