Description

This steamed asparagus recipe is a delightful way to enjoy fresh spring produce. The bright citrus and ginger dressing perfectly complements the tender asparagus, creating a light and flavorful dish. I love how quickly it comes together – perfect for a weeknight side or a light lunch. The combination of lime and ginger is just divine! It's a vegetarian and gluten-free option that's both healthy and delicious. Feel free to add a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for extra crunch and flavor. This dish is best served immediately to enjoy the crispness of the asparagus.
