This is a recipe I came up with for my weight watchers diet. I love asparagus and I happened to have some white on hand. I find it to not be as flavorful as the green version, so I spiced it up a bit and added great flavor with the garlic and red onion, topping off with a good balsamic vinegar. Asparagus has no points, so the only points I added was the oil. I made a meal out of this. Yum!

How to Make ~ Skinny Sauteed Asparagus ~

Step-by-Step

Trim tough bottoms of asparagus ( About 2 inches ) maybe more depending how big your asparagus is.

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water, salt, garlic powder and bullion to a boil.
