Balsamic Asparagus with Cherry Tomatoes

Ingredients:

• 1½ lbs asparagus
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half
• 1 Tbsp Flavor Pourfection Traditional Balsamic Vinegar (Fig or Pomegranate are also wonderful choices)
• 2 tsp orange juice
• 1 tsp freshly minced garlic
• Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 Tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

Remove tough ends from asparagus.

Cook asparagus in boiling water until tender, about 4 to 6 minutes.  (Or you can microwave the asparagus for about 2 to 3 minutes.)

Place the asparagus into a colander and rinse with cool water to stop them from cooking.  Drain and place on a serving platter.  Sprinkle tomatoes over top.

In a small bowl or cup, stir together the balsamic vinegar, orange juice, garlic, salt and pepper.  Spoon the dressing over the asparagus and tomatoes.  Sprinkle with cheese and serve.
