Possibilities are endless with this one....
I wanted to be sure that my friends had this recipe to try....you know it is easy if I tried it!
With my husband playing sous chef, (while I played taxi driver)- he finished roasting the asparagus and cooked a 1/2 cup of quinoa.
Upon my return, we tossed:

• roasted pecans
• roasted asparagus cut into 2 inch bites
• 1/4 cup feta
• drizzle of balsamic and olive oil
• cooked quinoa

What would I change?

• more vegetables:  maybe roasted brussels sprouts, sun dried tomatoes- etc
• steam the asparagus vs roast
• grilled chicken?

Really- this recipe is a base for so many possibilities- let me know if you try your own version ....

p.s. such a good balance of nutrients in this dish including healthy fats from the pecans (especially high in omega 6 fatty acids) plus olive oil, lots of fiber, gluten free
