Chile-Spiced Asparagus

Chile-Spiced Asparagus

Earthy chili combines with the sour-power of sherry vinegar to create a fine dressing for the grassy-green asparagus. For a smoky twist, try substituting smoked paprika for the chili powder.

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 bunches asparagus, tough ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
