Tangy Crunchy Asparagus

I always wanted to try asparagus but never got a chance , when i came to US i saw this vegetable and looked up a recipe on the web and prepared this. I was very hesitant initially until i tasted it, it has a unique crunchiness and nice taste. I started making for family friends and they were also hesitant to try it but once they did they were hooked and begun to prepare on their own.

I later researched on the web and was amazed by it nutritional value. It is very high in folate and recently has shown to prevent cancer.
