Asparagus with Red Pepper Vinaigrette

This recipe is a delicious and colorful way of dressing up plain steamed asparagus. It is not only an ideal side dish for any meat dish but the vinaigrette may be used on other vegetables like green beans and broccoli. I made this dish to go with the steaks I cook for my family.  I totally enjoyed this awesome asparagus with the tangy pepper dressing 😀
