Asparagus' arrival on the farmer's market scene truly signals that Spring is here to stay. While much of the East coast has experienced snow in the first few days of Spring, I'm confident that warmer weather is around the corner.
If you are in need of a side dish, Asparagus is a fabulous & easy way to brighten your plate. I love a crunch, so I personally love Asparagus blanched with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Another easy and quick way to prepare it is to bake the Asparagus for 20 minutes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. It's a great addition to any salad, or to be used as a replacement to chips with any dip.
Asparagus is a great source of fiber, folate, and vitamins A, C, E, and K. It's also packed with antioxidants and has the ability to neutralize cell-damaging free radicals.
I recently made Minamalist Baker's Vegan Asparagus pea soup. It took less than 30 minutes to make and will cost you under $10. In my case, I already had everything at home, so it was super convenient. I substituted coconut milk for the almond milk. It's makes for a fabulous weeknight dish.
