aspragus with bacon, red onion, and balsamic vinaigrette
Thursday, May 28, 2009
12:53 PMi recently tried this recipe and absolutely adored it. a couple of things i would point out, however:
- be careful not to overcook the asparagus. we didn't use "thin" asparagus (or at least i didn't think we did), but we broiled it in the oven for about 10 minutes and they came out too soft. this may also be due to the fact that we only had one bunch of asparagus?
- i loved the balsamic vinaigrette aspect of this recipe and one regret i had was being too conservative with pouring it over the asparagus. if you like balsamic vinaigrette, go nuts!
- same goes with the bacon. i think i used three strips of bacon, instead of six--mistake. i love bacon, especially extra crispy, which i think is the perfect way to make it for this recipe. next time, even though i only used one bunch of asparagus, i might go with four or five strips of bacon. (i noticed that one comment on the recipe said to forego the bacon--BLASPHEMY.)
otherwise, a tasty and quick way to cook up some asparagus as a great side dish. (we had it with steak.) i also think i'll be using this general vinaigrette recipe for my salads.
