Step in for more wonderful Springtime Sides being shared from Our Dinner Table.......

As you read this we are up in Northern Michigan where there is still tons of snow.  Depending on the weather today you will find us hiking, sledding or perhaps both.  But I can dream of Spring weather and all the wonderful fresh produce that comes with it.

I don't know about you but I cannot wait for Spring weather.  We get a taste of it now and then but Friday it was hailing snow out there.  Sigh......

But Friday evening we had a touch of Spring at the dinner table when I hosted a dinner party for 10 of our friends.  We started the evening with a Spring Vegetable Soup, followed by a Sicilian Citrus Salad.  The main course was Oven Roasted Salmon and this bright, delicious asparagus almondine.

I will be sharing all of the recipes from this dinner in upcoming posts.  This Asparagus Almondine will make the perfect side for your Easter Feast or Mother's Day gathering.  In my opinion, there is nothing better than fresh asparagus and we eat it numerous times a week while it is in season.

Here are some of my other favorite Asparagus dishes to serve up at Our Family Table.....

Grilled Asparagus Tart

Shaved Asparagus Salad

Pickled Asparagus

Spring Greens Pasta

Creamy Asparagus Soup

All of these recipes are easy peasy and delicious but none so much as the Asparagus Almondine I am sharing today.  What is your favorite Spring Produce?
