  1. Snap off tough ends of asparagus.

  3. Cover and microwave at HIGH 2 to 4 minutes (I just steam mine) or until asparagus is crisp-tender; drain.
  4. Return to dish.
  5. Combine vinegar and next 3 ingredients in a small bowl; stir with a whisk until mixture is blended.
  6. Pour vinegar mixture over asparagus, turning asparagus to coat.
