How to Make Asparagus With Toasted Pine Nuts Lemon Vinaigrette
- Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears.
- Use a vegetable peeler or knife to remove any tough scales from the asparagus stalks (optional).
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Place asparagus spears in a steamer basket set over the boiling water.
- Cover and steam for 4-5 minutes, or until the asparagus is crisp-tender but still bright green.
- While the asparagus steams, toast the pine nuts: Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned and fragrant. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Transfer the steamed asparagus to a serving platter.
- Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the asparagus, gently tossing to coat.
- Sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts.
- Let the asparagus sit at room temperature for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
