Ingredients for Asparagus Dijonnaise
- Fresh Asparagus
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
How to Make Asparagus Dijonnaise
- Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus spears.
- Steam asparagus spears until bright green and crisp-tender, about 4-6 minutes. Do not overcook!
- Immediately rinse the asparagus under cold water to stop the cooking process and maintain vibrant color.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve the asparagus warm or at room temperature. Drizzle the Dijon mayonnaise over the spears, or serve it on the side for dipping.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
