This looks pretty fancy, but it's fairly easy to make. I hope you try it!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

The next time you're looking for an impressive side dish, try this savory asparagus strudel. It's made by stuffing sweet onions, buttery bread crumbs, and tender asparagus inside flaky phyllo dough. Asparagus soaks up the filling flavors. When served and the mint yogurt sauce is spread on a slice, this tastes similar to stuffed grape leaves. This is an easy way to serve asparagus that looks complicated but is simple.
