"A great way to serve cold asparagus. Use only rice vinegar, as other vinegars are too strong for this. Cook time is chilling time."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Snap tough ends off asparagus spears and peel if needed. Steam spears until just tender, 2-3 minutes. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking.

Step 2

Combine vinegar, oil, honey and soy sauce. Arrange asparagus in one layer in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the spears and chill, covered, for 3-5 hours or overnight.

Step 3

Before serving, place the sesame seeds in a small, dry skillet and toast them lightly over medium heat until light golden brown.

Step 4

Place the asparagus on a serving plate, and drizzle with some of the marinade. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the asparagus and garnish with lemon.

Perfect combination of flavors; great make-ahead salad! I used Alton Brown's method of steaming asparagus rolled in wet paper towels in the microwave. Tagged for Billboard game, due April 26.
