INSTRUCTIONS
Steam the asparagus pieces for 2 minutes. Plunge into cold water to stop
cooking. Drain.
Put asparagus, red pepper and onion into a plastic bowl (with cover). Blend
vinegar, water, sugar (honey) and parsley in a separate bowl and then pour
over vegetables. Adjust seasonings if desired (may want to add more
sweetness). Stir, cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. Stir every
so often.
Serve cold as a side salad.
Hint: make sure you only use the tender part of the asparagus. My mom
taught me that you hold the tip and base of the asparagus in separate hands
and then bend it until it breaks. Only use the tip end and use the base
end for soup or compost it.
