Marinated Asparagus with Red Pepper
An excellent quick easy recipe for asparagus. We like this one because it not only has an excellent flavor but asparagus is one of the top 150 best fat burning foods for those on a diet. Asparagus is loaded with nutrients and 10 medium spears gives you 10% of the daily recommended amount of protein and fiber as well as 80 mg of Omega 3 and 6. We make this recipe without salt so it is also ideal for those on a low sodium diet.
