With only three ingredients, this recipe is quick to come together and sure to be a crowd pleaser. It may take a couple of tries to find the crispness you and your family prefer, but the effort is definitely worth the time.

Springtime is also a great time to forage for asparagus patches hidden off the beaten path. Keep an eye out in the fall for tall, overgrown, wispy-looking plants. Many asparagus hunters leave markers in the fall to make the treat easier to find in the spring.
