Buttered Lime Asparagus

Although you don't really need a "recipe" to make asparagus, this topping is extra yummy! I like to try to get the pencil-thin asparagus. Nice and tender!

Buttered Lime Asparagus

1 bunch asparagus, rinsed and prepped (*see note below)
1 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. lime juice
Mrs. Dash-Garlic Herb seasoning


Place 1 bunch prepped asparagus in a large skillet with about 1/4 inch of water. Heat until simmering, cover with lid, and simmer for about 4 minutes. Pour off water, return to heat and add butter and Mrs. Dash seasoning (or garlic and pepper if you don't have any Mrs. Dash). Saute for about 2 minutes and add fresh (or bottled) lime juice. Serve immediately. So good!


*Note: To prep asparagus, gently bend spear about 2 inches from the stem end until it breaks naturally. Leave whole or optionally cut into 2-inch lengths. Sometimes it's easier for little children to eat asparagus when it's in smaller pieces and it is much easier to cut before it is cooked!
