Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp pepper
1 lb fresh asparagus
1/3 cup finely chopped tomato

Directions:

Combine chopped basil, olive oil, vinegar, salt, sugar and pepper in a jar; cover tightly, and shake vigorously.
Set vinegrette mixture aside.
Snap off ends of asparagus.
Remove scales with a knife or vegie peeler, if desired.
Place asparagus in a vegetable steamer over boiling water; cover and steam 4-6 minutes or until crisp-tender.
Arrange asparagus on a serving platter; sprinkle with chopped tomato.
(I just lay it in a row over the center of the asparagus) Drizzle vinaigrette mixture over asparagus.
