Marinated Asparagus, Tomatoes, and Hearts of Palm

It's been a while since I first saw this beautiful dish on Elizabeth's Blog, Dutch Oven, and bookmarked it. I had to wait for asparagus season and now that's in full swing here in Virginia, I decided to finally make this marinated veggie dish. It was very fresh and the combination of tomatoes, hearts of palm, and asparagus made it very light and refreshing. It's an excellent summer side dish or vegetarian dinner!
