How to Make Asparagus With Grainy Mustard Dressing

  2. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until tender-crisp but still bright green.
  3. Drain the asparagus immediately and transfer it to a serving bowl.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons grainy mustard, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Pour the dressing over the asparagus and gently toss to coat.
  6. Serve immediately hot or chill for later and serve cold. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
