How to Make Asparagus With Vinaigrette

  1. Trim the woody ends off 1 pound of asparagus spears.
  2. Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
  3. While the asparagus cooks, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil until emulsified.
  5. Finely chop 2 shallots and stir them into the vinaigrette.
  6. Drain the asparagus and arrange it on a serving platter.
  7. Drizzle the lemon-shallot vinaigrette generously over the asparagus.
  8. Garnish with 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley before serving.
