Spring Time Favorite Snack

spring-time-asparagusRight now asparagus is at $1.48 per pound. Cutting off the first several inches of the end of the stalk as it is purchased is a good idea as that has been sitting in water at the grocery store. Enjoying it raw dipped in fat free Blue Cheese Dressing is fantastic as a powerhouse snack. Generally the first five inches of the head of the stalk is the most tender. The remaining can be steamed and enjoyed with a meal. Tupperware has a good crisper and it will keep for a week.
