My favorite way to enjoy asparagus! Extremely simple to prepare, and of course, healthful.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb asparagus, rinsed and trimmed
1/2 lemon

Directions

1
Steam asparagus gently until tender, certainly not mushy.
2
Put asparagus in bowl, and squeeze lemon half over the asparagus until fairly well-covered.
3
Salt, pepper, and/or butter are optional, but I like the dish as is.
