I just love, love, LOVE asparagus! This is a great recipe with a bit of a "gourmet" touch by making the sauce. It adds a world of flavor to the already awesome green crispy vegetable.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Such an easy asparagus side dish that looks very elegant. The slightly tangy, rich, and very creamy Dijon sauce dresses up fresh asparagus. It would be fantastic for a special meal, such as Valentine's Day, an anniversary, or a birthday.
