What to Serve With This Asparagus

Asparagus may not be a hit with kids, but it is a good way to ensure they're eating a nutritionally-balanced meal. Perhaps the addition of the feta cheese will make it more appealing to them! Here are a few suggestions for what to pair with asparagus.

First, asparagus goes great with turkey. Turkey is a rather neutral-tasting meat, so the strong flavors of this asparagus dish will come out even better. Turkey isn't just for Thanksgiving; it makes for a great dinner at any time of the year! That's especially true when you pair it with this asparagus.

If turkey isn't your thing, try a chicken dish instead. There are so many different chicken recipes out there. Moms Who Think has tons of chicken recipes, so be sure to check our offerings out and pick the ones that are your favorites.
