“Try drizzling asparagus with extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of course sea salt, then either pan fry or broil until desired tenderness is achieved.” –Gina
“Asparagus is also great sauteed with mushrooms or sliced almonds.” –Kay
In In Season: Avocados we asked your favorite way to eat them:
“As a substitute for mayo on sandwiches. That way I can still use them when they start to turn brown.” –Sonya, via Facebook
“Cut up with red onion, Roma tomato and feta cheese with an Italian vinaigrette drizzle. They’re also wonderful sliced onto BLTs!” –Brian, via Facebook
