Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound asparagus ( ends trimmed off)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk mustard, vinegar, and 1 tbsp oil until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a tiny bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add asparagus and saute for 5-6 minutes or until crisp-tender.
  3. Transfer asparagus to a serving dish.
  4. Drizzle with the prepared vinaigrette. Serve warm or chilled.

Notes

- For the best texture, don't overcook the asparagus; it should still have a slight bite.
- Adjust the vinaigrette's tanginess to your liking by adding a touch more oil or vinegar.
- Store leftover cooked asparagus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or enjoy chilled.
