OK recipe - Bland but a way to dress up your asparagus
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The ingredients sounded good but I thought it was kinda bland. If you like this recipe try Ellie Kreiger's green bean salad... recipe. That one is out of this world good!Read more

Great Spring Salad
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This salad was wonderful, a little heavy on the dressing though. I also added a bit of crumbled goat cheese at the end.... DELICIOUS!Read more

Super fast and tasty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this in less than 5 mins. flat. I sprinkled slivered/sliced almonds on top and it looked fancy enough for company. I... can see this made with other green veggies as well--string beans, brussels sprouts, etc...good eaten at room temp also, which is great for make-ahead menus.Read more
