Finding fresh asparagus in your CSA Share is a reason enough to smile at spring’s abundance.   This recipe from Delish will inspire you to up your asparagus game and upgrade this classic side dish veggie to main dish status.  You can enjoy these asparagus bundles as an appetizer, brunch buffet item, or a light dinner (as my family did last night). 

The version of the recipe I’m sharing below allows you to substitute in your favorite deli meats.  Thick sliced ham and roasted turkey breast both work especially well.  A bit of horseradish added to each bundle packs a flavorful punch that makes these bundles anything but bland.
