How to Make Asparagus And Green Beans With Tarragon Lemon Dip

  2. Drain the vegetables immediately and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Arrange the asparagus and green beans on a serving platter.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to taste.
  5. Drizzle the lemon-tarragon dip over the vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley and tarragon sprigs.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
