Southern Living, one of my favorite magazines, has given us this delightful new take on asparagus. It may not look very different, but your tastebuds will tell you otherwise. Freshly grated ginger, Dijon mustard and a hint of orange juice awaken this sometimes boring vegetable. If you have any left over, cut it up and add it to your next tossed salad, or even better, to scrambled eggs.
If you’re looking for other ways to be creative with asparagus, try SL's Asparagus Pesto for a real treat.

We love asparagus, but I've never marinated it. What a great idea Judy.
I hope you and your family have a lovely Easter weekend.

Pulled some asparagus from the garden today so must try this. Diane
What a yummy way to kick up your standard asparagus!
Judy, this looks delicious. I want to make it this week. How much ginger should I use?
Kaity, Thanks for letting me know I left the ginger out. It's 1-1/2 tsp., and I corrected the recipe. Hope you like it.
