20 asparagus spears
1 tablespoon capers, drained

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Snap off tough ends of asparagus spears. Steam asparagus, covered, for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water; drain.

Combine capers and the next 7 ingredients (through pepper) in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk.
3
Place 1/4 cup juice mixture, cherry tomatoes, and beans in a small bowl; toss gently to combine.
