This is a great recipe if you need to make some things ahead of time. Definitely steam instead of boil. If you like asparagus, you will like this. Good for entertaining when its really hot and you want cool foods. Wonderful with grilled salmon.07/15/06
This was a delicious very easy to make dish. I cooked the asparagus the day before and chilled it until ready to serve. I toasted my sesame seeds the day before, too. I think the asparagus is better steamed, instead of boiling.04/20/04
