How to Make Asparagus With Thai Dressing

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound of asparagus and slice diagonally into 3-inch lengths.
  3. Toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  5. While asparagus roasts, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  6. Finely slice 1/4 cup red onion.
  7. Once asparagus is cooked, transfer to a large bowl. Add the red onion, and gently toss to combine.
  8. Pour the dressing over the asparagus and onion mixture, toss gently to coat.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled on a bed of lettuce leaves.
