Servings: persons

1 bunch Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 dashes Salt And Pepper Or More
1 pint Grape Tomatoes Or Any Variety Chopped
_____
FOR THE VINAIGRETTE:
1/4 cups Balsamic Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1 cup Light Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

1
In a large skillet filled 1/2 deep with water, cook your asparagus until crisp tender, about 3 minutes once water begins bubbling. If your asparagus are thicker, cook a bit longer. You can also steam for 3-4 minutes if you happen to have a steamer.
2
Once the asparagus are done, run them under cold water to stop them from continuing to cook. Blot dry. Wrap in paper towels and store in your refrigerator for a few hours.
3
Make the vinaigrette by combining the 4 ingredients and which until combined. Taste and adjust to your liking. Some like it sweet, some more vinegar-tasting.
4
When ready to assemble, toss the asparagus in a teaspoon of olive oil. Use your hands to get them evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and plate.
5
Sprinkle with the tomatoes, then the vinaigrette. Let the flavors mingle for an hour and serve.
6
This would serve 5-6 people on a buffet. You could always add some super thin slices of red onion if your guests are onion people. For a crowd, I triple or quadruple this and serve on a huge oval glass dish, fanning the asparagus out in a circle. So pretty!

Enjoy!
