""This is out of the WW Annual Recipes for Success 2000 cookbook. I have it marked as great! Just in time for asparagus season. Best time is suppose to be between late March and May. Great side dish for Barbecue time. This was 1 point on the old program. Enjoy! Prep time doesn't include marinating.""

These are really good! I never thought of cold asparagus before but will have it this way often. Thanks for sharing!

I made this recipe exactly as written. We enjoyed this recipe, but next time I will cut back on the ginger, as the ginger seemed to overtake the flavours and tended to be slightly bitter. The asparagus still had a slight crunch to them, which I really loved. Great served as a side to our B.B.Q.
