Asparagus Vinaigrette
Description
This is a tasty little salad that can all be prepared in advance and assembled right before you want to serve it. Found in the Best of Bridge, I’ve adjusted the dressing a bit over the years, and less is more, especially with fresh spring asparagus – enjoy!
Ingredients
1 lb. (or as much as you’d like) asparagus, trimmed, dropped in boiling water for ONE minute, drained, dried and placed back into the refrigerator until you’re ready for it. I usually wrap mine in a clean towel.
Dressing
1 T. Dijon mustard
2 T. white wine vinegar (I’ve also used white balsamic)
3 T. lemon juice
1 t. sugar (or honey)
1/4 t. EACH salt AND freshly ground pepper (or more to taste)
2 T. + olive oil
lemon zest for garnish
Instructions
Whisk (or shake in a well sealed container) all dressing ingredients together and pour over the cool, dry asparagus on a serving platter. Garnish with a sprinkling of zest and serve straight away.
