- Trim the tough ends off 1 pound of asparagus spears and place them in a large skillet.
- Add 1 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the skillet.
- Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the asparagus is crisp-tender.

- Slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup of olive oil while whisking rapidly until the vinaigrette emulsifies and slightly thickens.
