This is a great summer side dish to accompany hamburgers or other grilled meat or fish. The asparagus are cooked first, then marinated in herbs and oil and served cold for a refreshing vegetable dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 2 oz. jar diced pimento, drained
  • 1/2 C. vinegar
  • 1/4 C. olive oil
  • 1 Tbs. chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tsp. dried dill weed
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. coarse ground black pepper

Directions

Cook the asparagus in a small amount of water until crisp-tender. Drain. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine all the remaining ingredients and shake well. Place asparagus in a shallow dish; pour marinade over asparagus. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours. To serve, remove asparagus and arrange on a platter; remove pimiento and onion from marinade with a slotted spoon and sprinkle over asparagus.

Yield: 4 servings
