Marinated AsparagusThis versatile recipe made with fresh asparagus can be made year around. Serve it cold or warm as side with any meal. My favorite way to serve this is grilling it. It produces rave reviews every time. Even from guests who may not be fans of asparagus. |

Grilled Vegetable SaladInspired by The Ivy in Santa Monica, this is a wonderful spring salad that can be served as a side to grilled meats or as a main for lunch or a light dinner. I think the grilled corn makes the dish. Can also add grilled and chopped chicken to create a full meal. |
