Asparagus With Lemon Caper Vinaigrette image

Family Fave adapted from GH Best Recipes 1998. This is great with fish, the vinaigrette complements any mild white fish, too. Also a good, quick make-ahead dish for a dinner party, it will keep in the fridge for a couple hours. Also doubles or triples easily.
