This steamed asparagus is tender, tasty, and so simple! Try using vinaigrette dressing in place of the butter, too.

  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt

  2. 2

    Place 3 cups water in the bottom half of a steamer pan set. Add butter and salt and bring to a boil.

  5. 5

    Serve and enjoy!
