How to Make Asparagus With Mustard Dressing

  1. Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus spears.
  2. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and blanch for 3-4 minutes, until bright green and tender-crisp.
  3. Immediately transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and retain its vibrant color.
  4. While the asparagus chills, whisk together in a small bowl: 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Drain the asparagus thoroughly and gently pat dry with paper towels.
  6. Add the asparagus to the dressing and toss gently to coat.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon zest (optional).
