3/18/2013 - The recipe worked as described.
3/25/2025 - I had thin asparagus. I steamed it for only about 2 minutes and then rinsed it in cold water. I substituted 1 teaspoon of garlic powder for the chopped. I transferred about 2/3 of the asparagus to salad bowls and poured the dressing over it. Gail liked the sesame flavor.
