    I made this the other day and not only was it so so easy to make after a long work day but it was also so flavorful and delicious! Perfect for the warm weather because it tastes light and citrusy. Had mine with green beans instead of asparagus and it worked just as well so I’m sure you can use any veggie of your choosing.
