Instructions: I agree about roasting asparagus - its great! Roast it with lemon-pepper or herbs of your choice.

I like to top asparagus thats been quick-boiled, steamed, or roasted with:

vinaigrette

fresh squeezed lemon juice

seasoned rice vinegar with an optional splash of soy sauce (or tamari)

nonfat yogurt mixed with curry powder

soy sauce mixed with chopped ginger and garlic

honey and mustard mixed together

melted lowfat cheese (put some shredded cheese on cooked asparagus and pop in the microwave oven for a few seconds to melt the cheese)

topped with my favorite nonfat salad dressing (either by itself, or on top of a mixed green salad)

I also love asparagus in omelets. And as someone else mentioned, it is also good in stir-fries. Or in a light pasta sauce, made with broth and fresh lemon juice, and topped with a little parmesan cheese.

And, of course, there is nothing better than cream of asparagus soup!
